Since its launch, the pebble bed modular reactor technology is providing a positive impact on industry and skills development, but also promises to become a world leader for safe and clean power.Mr Thinus GreylingPebble Bed Modular Reactor
not only to test the existing methods or codes available for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), but also to serve as a basis for the development of more accurate and efficient tools to analyse the neutronics and thermal-hydraulic behaviour for design and safety evaluations in future....
It was found that the code system is capable of modeling both small (HTR-10) and large (PBMR) pebble-bed reactors and therefore provides a flexible tool for safety analysis and core optimization of future reactor designs. The analyses of the LOFC transients show that the peak fuel temperature...
The paper summarizes the outcomes of this CRP with the focus on the analysis of benchmark problems pertaining to the HTR-10 test reactor operation and safety tests and the proposed Pebble Bed Modular Reactor 400 MWth annular core design.Bismark Tyobeka...
The development process and application of FIPREX-GETTER in reactor analysis at PBMR is explained and the requirements for future developments of the code are discussed. Results are presented for a sample PBMR core design under normal operating conditions as well as a suite of design-base accident...
