Using thorium to reduce the maximum fuel temperatures during depressurized loss of coolant accidents in a once-through-then-out (OTTO) PBMR DPP-400 core

Abstract: This article presents the results for the PBMR-DPP-400, but for a once-through-then-out (OTTO) refueling scheme. An optimization attempt of the axial and radial power profiles is reported. The main aim was to reduce the maximum depressurized loss of forced coolant (DLOFC) temperature by adding thorium to the fuel and making the fuel layout radially asymmetric by placing lower enriched fuel in the inner and higher enriched fuel in the outer fuel flow regions. These measures (1) flattened the peaks in the axial … Show more
