1D and 3D numerical simulation of the reactor cavity cooling system of a very high temperture reactor
(IHTC, 2014)To avoid accidents due to human error or the failure of components, the reactor cavity cooling system (RCCS) of a high temperature reactor must be able to operate naturally or passively safe. The RCCS can be a buoyancy ... -
The application of plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition of ZrC onto a Zr-alloy substrate
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Zirconium alloys are widely used as fuel cladding materials in Light Water Reactors (LWR) due to their excellent mechanical properties and low neutron absorption. The incident that occurred at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi ... -
The chemical reactor for the decomposition of sulphuric acid for the hybrid sulphur process
(North-West University, 2008)The utilisation of alternate sources of energy has reached critical levels due to the constantly growing demand for energy and the diminishing of fossil fuels. The production of hydrogen through the Hybrid Sulphur process ... -
