Proposed and existing passive and inherent safety-related structures, systems, and components (building blocks) for advanced light-water reactors

Abstract

A major purpose of the Techni cal Information Center is to provide the broadest dissemination possi ble of information contained in DOE's Research and Development Reports to business, industry, the academic community, and federal, state and local governments. Although a small portion of this report is not reproducible, it is being made available to expedite the availability of information on the research discussed herein.

Use of a temperature-initiated passive cooling system (TIPACS) for the modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactor cavity cooling system (RCCS)

“…This is not The leak effect can be further reduced by the addition of a fluidic diode. Fluidic diodes are no-moving-parts components with the characteristic that flow allowed in tJne direction is 10 to 100 times as much as that allowed in the other direction given a constant pressure drop (Forsberg 1989). Such devices have been developed for special nuclear and chemical applications.…”
