TL;DR: In this article, a transient analysis code (TAPIRS) for heat pipe cooled space reactor power system (HPS) has been developed and applied to investigate the system transient performance during a startup from zero cold power to full power.

TL;DR: In this article, a transient analysis code (TAPIRS) for heat pipe cooled space reactor power system (HPS) based on point reactor kinetics model, lumped parameter core heat transfer model, combined HP model (self-diffusion model, flat-front startup model and network model), energy conversion model of Alkali Metal Thermal-to-Electric Conversion units (AMTEC), and HP radiator model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D model for the sodium pool of the CFI was used to analyze the axial position where the thermal fatigue of the casing material was most likely to occur.

TL;DR: In this article, preliminary safety studies on the 800MWth accelerator-driven system (ADS) proposed by Xi'an Jiaotong university are presented, which is a pool type facility coupling a proton accelerator with current in the range of 17-23mA and a sub-critical core by means of a spallation target.

TL;DR: In this paper, a design of passive cooling system for CPR1000 spent fuel pool (SFP) is proposed, which can effectively manage the SFP temperature not to exceed 80°C.
