TL;DR: Examples based on the KAIST-3A benchmark core, as well as a simplified Westinghouse AP-1000 configuration, demonstrate the power of this new framework for tackling—in a coupled, multiscale manner—crucial reactor phenomena such as CRUD-induced power shift and fuel shuffle.

TL;DR: The MOOSE (Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment) framework as mentioned in this paper is a multiscale framework for numerical simulation of nuclear power plants that allows for a variety of different data exchanges to occur simultaneously on high performance parallel computational hardware.

TL;DR: The spectrum from heat pipe-cooled microreactors, through thermal and fast molten-salt reactors, to gas-and salt-cooling pebble bed reactors, can be found in this paper.

TL;DR: The as discussed by the authors summarizes the goals and recent progress of the Department of Energy's Gas-Cooled Reactor research and development campaign and how it supports a wide variety of industrial efforts to deploy high temperature reactors to serve modern energy markets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the available literature on graphite dust production and measurements in pebble bed reactors, and present experiments that have been performed on wear of graphite in PEBble-bed-like conditions.
