Abstract: | In a pebble-bed type very high temperature gas-cooled reactor (VHTGR), a typical fuel pebble consists of over ten thousand five-layer TRISO particles in a graphite-matrix. The high heterogeneity in composition leads to difficulty in explicit thermal calculation of pebble fuels. Thus, a homogenization model becomes essential. Currently, a simple volumetric-average thermal conductivity approach is used. However, this approach is non-conservative and underestimates the fuel temperature. |
