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.

An improved digital computer model DYNAM/US has been developed for predicting thermally induced instability in a once-through boiling flow with superheat. The present model includes newly developed dynamic schemes to calculate subcooled boiling, transition boiling, bulk boiling, as well as superheat. Numerical results revealed that this digital model compared well with existing experimental data and was able to predict lower natural frequencies as well as the system frequency response at higher frequencies.
