IMR. Annex 15

Description

The Integrated Modular Water Reactor (IMR) employs two natural circulation systems, the hybrid heat transport system (HHTS) for the primary system and the stand-alone direct heat removal system (SDHS) for the safety heat removal. The design concepts of IMR and these systems have been built and the test results showed the feasibility of the system. In the next design phase of IMR, 3D effects of two-phase natural circulation flow behaviour will be tested as a part of basic design study
