Start-up, operation and thermal-hydraulic analysis of a self-propelling supercritical CO2 heat removal system coupled to a pressurized water reactor

The supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO21) heat removal system, which is based on a closed Brayton cycle with sCO2 as a working fluid, is an innovative, self-propelling and modular heat removal system for existing and future nuclear power plants. By changing the number of CO2 cycles, the heat removal...
