ALFRED reactor coolant system design
Alessandro Alemberti,M. Caramello,Michele Frignani,Giacomo Grasso,Fabio Merli,Giulia Morresi,Mariano Tarantino +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the configuration of the ALFRED reactor coolant system showing its present state of development and technological innovations is presented, and the current plant architecture provides for a thermal power up to 300 MWth and a coolant temperature range from a minimum of 390°C to a maximum of 520°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
ALFRED: A revised concept to improve pool related thermal-hydraulics
TL;DR: The Advanced Lead-cooled Fast Reactor European Demonstrator (ALFRED) as discussed by the authors is a demonstrator for the industrial deployment of the LFR technology in commercial nuclear power plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vincent Moreau,Maria Manuela Profir,Alessandro Alemberti,Michele Frignani,F. Merli,M. Belka,O. Frybort,Tomas Melichar,Mariano Tarantino,S. Franke,Sven Eckert,Andreas G. Class,J. Yanez,Dmitry Grishchenko,Marti Jeltsov,Pavel Kudinov,Ferry Roelofs,Kevin Zwijsen,D.C. Visser,A. Badillo,Bojan Niceno,D. Martelli +21 more
TL;DR: One of the main goals of the SESAME project is described: the construction of the Gen-IV ALFRED CFD model and an investigation of its general circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of phenomena identification and ranking table for Westinghouse lead fast reactor's safety
Jun Liao,Paolo Ferroni,Richard F. Wright,Uriel Bachrach,James H. Scobel,Tanju Sofu,Adrian Tentner,Sung Jin Lee,Michael Epstein,Michele Frignani,Mariano Tarantino +10 more
TL;DR: The role of PIRT in the development of the Westinghouse LFR safety analysis methodology is described and the key phenomena and processes that are deemed highly important for the safety performance indicators, but for which the state of knowledge is low, are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benchmarking of MANCINTAP 2.0, a parallel high-performance tool for neutron activation analysis in complex 4D scenarios
TL;DR: MANCINTAP as mentioned in this paper is a parallel computational tool developed and maintained by Ansaldo Nucleare since 2011 to perform 4D neutron transport, activation and time-resolved dose-rate calculations in complex geometries for CPU intensive applications.
