摘要
The High-Performance Light Water Reactor (HPLWR) is the European concept of a supercritical water reactor (SCWR) which is one of the most promising and innovative designs of the Generation IV nuclear reactor concepts. The thermal-hydraulics behavior of supercritical water is significantly different from water at sub-critical pressure because of the difference in the specific heat value. Coupled analysis of HPLWR assembly neutronics and thermal-hydraulics has become important because of the strong influence of the water density on the neutron spectrum and power distribution. Programs MCU (Monte-Carlo Universal) and ATHLET (Analysis of Thermal-hydraulics of Leaks and Transients) were used for better estimation of power and temperature distribution in HPLWR assembly.
