Design and successful testing of a physical model of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor

Description

Results of design, construction and testing of NPU physical model on the basis of modular PBMR reactor with sphere fuel elements and helium coolant are discussed. Series gas turbines were used in the model. The physical model makes possible simulation of basic working regimes of NPU by means of the Flownet computer code. Results of analysis of the NPU typical operation regimes are performed

Abstract (Russian)

Обсуждены результаты проектирования, сооружения и испытаний физической модели ЯЭУ на основе модульного реактора PBMR с шаровыми твэлами и гелиевым теплоносителем. В модели использовали серийные газовые турбомашины. Физическая модель обеспечивает моделирование основных режимов работы ЯЭУ с помощью компьютерного кода Flownet. Приведены результаты анализа типовых режимов работы ЯЭУ
