Thermal-hydraulic analysis of EBR-II Shutdown Heat Removal Tests SHRT-17n and SHRT-45R

摘要

As one of the six Generation-IV reactors, SFR (sodium-cooled fast reactor) is attracting more and more attention in recent years. To evaluate the SFR safety characteristics, the Shutdown Heat Removal Tests (SHRT) conducted by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) were performed in Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) to verify inhere safety characteristics. To find the inaccuracies in the exist models and improve the simulating level for SFR, SHRT-17 and SHRT-45R have been chosen as the benchmar
