Abstract:In the third generation of nuclear reactors, passive systems have been widely used such as passive core cooling system and passive containment cooling system, which usually relay on natural circulation induced by buoyancy force to remove heat. Most of these passive cooling systems are closed-loop natural circulations. In recent years, some open-loop heat-removal systems have also been put forward. Open-loop heat-removal systems have its own advantages such as its simplification and low costs. However, the ther… 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.
