MARVEL team shares lessons learned through microreactor development
On June 1 at the American Nuclear Society’s Annual Conference in Denver, Colo., a team from Idaho National Laboratory presented a session titled “Lessons Learned from MARVEL Reactor Fabrication.” The presentation highlighted challenges that arose as they moved from design to manufacturing and assembly, with a focus on reactor part fabrication, Stirling engine implementation, and reactivity control system development.

The computer code RETRAN-02 is being used to analyze operational transients at the Hanford N Reactor. Included in the scope of the transients is a loss of feedwater from two 430-MW(electric) turbines to the secondary cooling system. An actual loss of feedwater from one of the two turbines occurred prior to this analysis, and plant data obtained from this transient were used in the validation of the RETRAN computer model. These data are compared with the RETRAN-02 predictions.
