Coupled irradiation-thermal-mechanical analysis of the solid-state core in a heat pipe cooled reactor
The solid-state core of a heat pipe cooled reactor operates at high temperatures over 1000 K with thermal and irradiation-induced expansion during burnup. The expansion changes the gap thickness between the solid components and the material properties, and may even cause the gap closure, which then...
