Minimize fission power peaking factor in radial direction of water-cooled and water-moderated thermionic conversion reactor core
The paper investigates the possibility for reducing the radial power peaking factor kr inside the core of a water-cooled water-moderated thermionic converter reactor (TCR). Due to a highly nonuniform power density, the TCR generates less electric power and the temperature increases...
