Westinghouse chose a real-world application for VERA-CS: the reactor physics-analysis of the AP1000 PWR, which features a core design with several advanced features. Using VERA-CS to study the ...

members of Downar's group spent the last three years developing codes that could simulate the more complex layout and physics of Hitachi's reactor core design. For example, uranium fission ...

There are 6 reactor ... in the type of core reactor vessel used in old boiling water reactors of the so-called Baureihe (Type) 69. The NY Times writes about the reactor design: The warnings ...

The Oak Ridge team recently finalized the preliminary design for the 3D-printed core at the heart of its Transformational Challenge Reactor, or TCR. Although most of the reactor will be made from ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory are refining their design of a 3D-printed nuclear reactor core, scaling up the additive manufacturing process necessary to build it, and developing methods to confirm the ...

The lack of an in-core fluid in our ZEUS design not only simplifies greatly the design but also enables rapid prototyping and non-nuclear testing, NANO Nuclear Senior Director and Head of Reactor ...

Transatomic’s new design would require much lower-level uranium enrichment or could simply operate on radioactive waste. The reactor core would also be smaller and able to burn up to 96% of the ...
