Abstract:The present study focuses on the thermal hydraulic characteristics of fuel assemblies in the China Initiative Accelerator Driven subcritical System (CiADS), which utilizes grid-type spacers to support lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) cooled fast reactors. While the structural design and mechanical analysis of CiADS triangular fuel assemblies with grid-type spacers have been preliminarily investigated, there is a pressing need to study the thermal hydraulic behavior of liquid LBE within these fuel assemblies.
