A new, commercial-scale pebble-bed high-temperature graphite reactor (HTGR) called HTR-PM is about to come online. Despite its conceptual safety improvements over traditional reactors, the implementation poses several significant safety risks. In this commentary, the authors urge caution in operating HTR-PM and suggest actions that could mitigate the chances of a serious accident.

Qi Yang (2015)et al simulated the uniaxial loading test of coarse-grained soil in various main stress directions under triaxial state by means of PFC3D, and analyzed the stress-strain characteristics of coarse-grained soil in complex stress state from the macro and micro points of view, believing that the complex stress state was the inducing factor for coarse-grained soil to produce various

Thorium is much more abundant in nature than uranium. Thorium can be used as a nuclear fuel through breeding to uranium-233 (U-233). When this thorium fuel cycle is used, much less plutonium and other transuranic elements are produced, compared with uranium fuel cycles. Several thorium-fuelled reactor concepts are under consideration.

The pebble bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor is a promising generation-IV reactor, which uses large fuel pebbles and helium gas as coolant. The pebble bed flow is a fundamental issue for both academic investigation and engineering application, e.g., reactor core design and safety analysis. This work performed a review of recent progress on pebble flow study, focusing on the important

The Advanced Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Blanket (see Fig.1) exhibits the same basic design features as the European DEMO HCPB blanket, which is based on the use of separate ceramic breeder and beryllium pebble beds placed between cooling plates. The separation between breeder and multiplier in form of a pebble bed is necessary to avoid chemical reactions between Be and ceramic breeder [5]

Li 4 SiO 4 is the reference breeder material for the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) Blanket concept. In the HCPB blanket lithium orthosilicate pebbles in the diameter range 0.25–0.63 mm are placed in a gap of about 10-mm width between two cooling plates. Therefore, in order to study the heat transfer in the blanket, the effective thermal conductivity of pebble beds has to be known
