Individual pebble temperature peaking factor due to local pebble arrangement in a pebble bed reactor core

Scientists at the German AVR pebble bed nuclear reactor discovered that the surface temperature of some of the pebbles in the AVR core were at least 200 K higher than previously predicted by reactor core analysis calculations. The goal of this research paper is to determine whether a similar unexpec...
