| The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor: From V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Product) to GenerationIV candidate |
 Click to download workshop program. |
| Subject |
Scope |
| Overview of the PBMR reactor systems |
Introduction to pebble bed reactors, history (AVR, THTR, HTR Modul etc) and designs, Generation-IV characteristics, General layout and main components, Different applications and power conversion cycles, Current designs (HTR-10, PBMR, HTR-PM, etc). |
| Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) design |
Fuel design, reactor design and shutdown systems, MEDUL concept and equilibrium cycle models, pebble flow lines and modelling, typical characteristics (flux, power, load follow), and uncertainty determination. |
| Safety principles and safety analysis with selected results |
Fundamental safety principles and how they are satisfied, source terms, fission product transport, DBE and BDBE limiting cases and analysis. |
| Training simulator demonstration |
Demonstration of the PBMR Training Simulator |
| Core neutronics methods and tools to calculate pebble bed reactors |
The presentation of several core physics code systems that can analyze pebble bed reactors is proposed with focus on the reactor physics methods employed (Item is depending on the availability of time in the program and availability of contributors to be confirmed). |
