The results of performed analyses show that the operators have 2.9 and 3.1 h for LBLOCA with SBO and LBLOCA with pump re-circulation blockage scenarios, respectively, before the fuel rod cladding rupture.
The Cold Finger Apparatus (KühlFinger-Apparatur – KüFA) in operation at JRC-ITU is designed to experimentally examine the effects of Depressurization and LOss of Forced Circulation (DLOFC) accident scenarios on irradiated High Temperature Reactor (HTR) fuel pebbles.
We have incorporated General Circulation Model-based scenarios of anthropogenic global climate change in an integrated linked-system model for predicting changes in malaria epidemic potential in the next century.
In order to assess the changes in precipitation and temperature for the next decades, two global circulation models and three scenarios have been used.
The Cold Finger Apparatus (KühlFinger-Apparatur KüFA) in operation at JRC-ITU is designed to experimentally scrutinize the effects of Depressurization LOss of Forced Circulation (D-LOFC) accident scenarios on irradiated High Temperature Reactor (HTR) fuel pebbles.
The major objective of the present paper is using the experimental plant and a phenomenological model for implementing real time process automation, in order to assure drilling inside operational window, using in line measurements for flow and density disturbances under circulation loss and kick scenarios.
However, the accuracy of the predictions will be reduced, and thus their applicability to disease risk management policy, due to the current uncertainty associated with circulation models and emission scenarios [42].
We selected three emission scenarios and produced simulations with the CENTURY model using three General Circulation Models (GCMs) for each scenario.
However, natural circulation loops present a different scenario compared to convection in liquid columns, as the circulation is developed due to thermosyphon effect.
Furthermore, due to its high surface heat flux and low velocities under natural circulation in any post-LOCA scenario, three effects impair the capability of turbulent gas flow to remove heat from the GFR core, namely: (1) acceleration effect, (2) buoyancy effect and (3) property variation.
