The objective of this project is to determine the optimal casting process for the Lightbridge δphase U-Zr alloy using a depleted uranium (DU) zirconium surrogate in the Radiochemical Processing Laboratory (RPL) which is located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
The objective of this project is to generate high-pedigree experimental data to help to validate the systems analysis codes SAS4A/SASSYS-1 and SAM which can be used to inform advanced reactor designers on thermal-hydraulic behavior during transients as well as support licensing activities.
The objective of this project is to couple Serpent and Griffin to enable a thermal-hydraulics and neutronics multiphysics model of the transient scenario which will accelerate Radiant’s reactor design process.
