INVESTIGATION OF A SELF-ACTUATED, GRAVITY-DRIVEN SHUTDOWN SYSTEM IN A SMALL LEAD-COOLED REACTOR

INVESTIGATION OF A SELF-ACTUATED, GRAVITY-DRIVEN SHUTDOWN SYSTEM IN A SMALL LEAD-COOLED REACTOR

Passive safety systems in a nuclear reactor allow to simplify the overall plant design, beside improving economics and reliability, which are considered to be among the salient goals of advanced Generation IV reactors. This work focuses on investigating the application of a self-actuated, gravity-dr...
