Abstract:An integral Pressurized Water Reactor (iPWR) type SMR was studied featuring Passive Safety Systems (PSSs). Different from active systems, PSSs are easily influenced by system parameters referred to as phenomenological factors such as heat loss, flow friction, oxidation, non-condensable gases and void fraction due to the low driving force of natural circulation. The system parameters also contribute to the uncertainty and dependency of PSS leading to the system unreliability. Thus, efforts are made to improve t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
