Modeling tritium transport in fusion reactors: Recent improvements in fusion-adapted MELCOR
For over 20 years, MELCOR has been adapted at INL for fusion reactor systems Modifications to MELCOR 1.8.2 were designed to accommodate needs for analysis of the ITER reactor; V&Vd for ITER NSSR 1&2, GSSR, RPrS, still in use today Additional modifications to later versions of MELCOR (1.8.5/1.8.6) were made to model advanced fusion reactor […]
GCR Review 2021 AGR 3/4 Modeling Presentation
This is a presentation updating the Gas Cooled Reactor program on recent modeling work to understand the AGR 3/4 experiment.
Reconstruction of Fission Product Distribution from Tomographic Scans in TRISO Fuel Graphitic Matrix and Nuclear Grade Graphites
An image reconstruction method was developed to rectify shortcomings of earlier methods that became apparent as destructively sampled data became available. This reconstruction method was applied to the tomographic gamma scans of nuclear graphite and graphitic matrix samples from AGR-3/4. There is generally agreement between profiles measured via destructive sampling of these rings and profiles […]
