The Encapsulated Nuclear Heat Source for Proliferation-Resistant Low-Waste Nuclear Energy

TL;DR: The Encapsulated Nuclear Heat Source (ENHS) is a small innovative reactor suitable for use in developing countries as discussed by the authors, which is a SOMWe lead-bismuth eutectic (Pb-Bi) cooled fast reactor.

Feasibility of Natural Circulation Heat Transport in the ENHS

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis has been carried out of natural circulation thermal hydraulics in both the primary and intermediate circuits of the Encapsulated Nuclear Heat Source (ENHS) and it is established that natural circulation enhanced by gas injection into the primary coolant above the core, or the intermediate coolant in the heat exchange zone, is effective in transporting the nominal core power to the steam generators without the attainment of excessive system temperatures.
