Review of reactor conceptual design and thermal hydraulic characteristics for heat pipe in nuclear systems

Heat pipe cooled reactors (HPCRs) have broad application prospects due to their advantages, such as high power density, compact structure, lower cost, and easy modular assembly. Numerous countries have engaged in extensive research and development of HPCR conceptual designs. The heat from the reacto...
