January - 1. February 1989 Editors: G. Breitbach F. Schubert H. Nickel Workshop on Structural Design Criteria for HTR Introductural remarks Most of the presentations given in this workshop are based on the German research and development project "HTR Design Criteria" carried out under the sponsorship of the Federal Ministry of Research and Technology. The main emphasis of this work was to acquire the fundamental principles and basic data for the establishment of German KTA-rules (KTA: Nuclear Safety Standards Commission) for the design of HTR-structural components. The project began in 1984 and the research work divided among several working groups and task forces, with participation from several institutions and companies. The role of coordination has been carried out by the Institute for Reactor Materials, Nuclear Research Centre Julien, headed by Prof. Dr. H. Nickel. The work has been organized into four working groups: a) Technical safety boundary conditions; b) Metallic structural components; c) Prestressed concrete pressure vessel; d) Graphitic structural components. The required work in each group was divided between a number of task forces. The membership of each group and task force is given in the appendix.

FOREWORD On the invitation of the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Eleventh International Conference on the HTGR and the IAEA Technical Committee Meeting on Gas-Cooled Reactor Technology, Safety and Siting were held in Dimitrovgrad, USSR, on June 21-23, 1989. The meetings complemented each other. Due to the large worldwide interest, the conference attracted approximately 60 participants from 18 countries and 130 Soviet delegates. About 50 foreign participants and 100 Soviet delegates stayed over for the Technical Committee Meeting. The Technical Committee Meeting provided the Soviet delegates with an opportunity to display the breadth of their program on HTGR's to an international audience. Nearly one-half of the papers were presented by Soviet participants. Among the highlights of the meeting were the following: - The diverse nature and large magnitude of the Soviet research and development program on high temperature gas-cooled reactors.

  • Granular Dynamics in Pebble Bed Reactor Cores
    Granular Dynamics in Pebble Bed Reactor Cores by Michael Robert Laufer A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering – Nuclear Engineering in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Per Peterson, Chair Professor Brian Wirth Professor Tarek Zohdi Dr. Robert Budnitz Spring 2013 Granular Dynamics in Pebble Bed Reactor Cores Copyright 2013 by Michael Robert Laufer Abstract Granular Dynamics in Pebble Bed Reactor Cores by Michael Robert Laufer Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering – Nuclear Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Per F. Peterson, Chair This study focused on developing a better understanding of granular dynamics in pebble bed reactor cores through experimental work and computer simulations. The work completed includes analysis of pebble motion data from three scaled experiments based on the annular core of the Pebble Bed Fluoride Salt-Cooled High- Temperature Reactor (PB-FHR). The experiments are accompanied by the development of a new discrete element simulation code, GRECO, which is designed to offer a simple user interface and simplified two-dimensional system that can be used for iterative purposes in the preliminary phases of core design. The results of this study are focused on the PB-FHR, but can easily be extended for gas-cooled reactor designs. Experimental results are presented for three Pebble Recirculation Experiments (PREX). PREX 2 and 3.0 are conventional gravity-dominated granular systems based on the annular PB-FHR core design for a 900 MWth commercial prototype plant and a 16 MWth test reactor, respectively. Detailed results are presented for the pebble velocity field, mixing at the radial zone interfaces, and pebble residence times.
