Simulation of a loss of flow transient of a small Lead-Cooled reactor using a CFD-Based model

The recent development of small modular reactors needs to be followed by safety analysis using the newest available tools. This work focuses on one type of reactor, SEALER, which is a small lead cooled reactor intended for remote communities in Canada. Simulations of a loss of flow transients are performed using a CFD-based model that was specifically developed for this project. The CFD geometry includes the entire primary circuit with some …
