... predict the behaviour of the fuel samples during irradiation. The current paper describes the numerical model, which couples the 1.5D fuel performance code TRANSURANUS (TU) with a Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The thermal analysis of the experiment is carried out using the FEA. Such approach enables...

... than 50K. Keywords: Lead-cooled reactor, Computational Fluid Dynamics, SEALER, numerical model 1. INTRODUCTION The United Kingdom considers carbon-free nuclear power as one of the means to address climate change, and factory produced small/advanced modular reactors have been identified as a possibility...

... with fluid-to-fluid scaling techniques. The results from a one-dimensional numerical model developed using MATLAB to calculate the steady-state mass flow rate and heat transport characteristics of an experimental natural circulation test loop are presented and analyzed. Natural circulation scaling...
