Understanding the reaction of nuclear graphite with molecular oxygen: Kinetics, transport, and structural evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, a thorough review of the graphite-molecular oxygen reaction in terms of kinetics, mass and energy transport, and structural evolution is provided, showing that all three factors play a significant role in the observed rate of graphite oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The pebble bed modular reactor (PBMR) Verification and Validation (V&V) effort has defined a set of benchmark test problems that focus on coupled core neutronics and thermal-hydraulic code-to-code comparisons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of the dalton-thermix code system with transient analyses of the htr-10 and application to the pbmr
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional diffusion code DALTON-THERMIX code system was developed for safety analysis and core optimization of pebble-bed nuclear reactors.
