A unified reaction network on the formation of five-membered ringed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their role in ring expansion processes through radical–radical reactions

Exploiting a chemical microreactor in combination with an isomer-selective product identification through fragment-free photoionization utilizing tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light in tandem with the detection of the ionized molecules by a high resolution reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (Re-TOF-MS), the present investigation reveals molecular mass growth processes to four distinct polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons carrying two six- and one five-membered ring (C 13 H 10 ): 3H-cyclopenta[a]naphthalene, 1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene, 1H-cyclopenta[a]naphthalene, and fluorene in the gas phase. Temperatures of 973 and 1023 K simulating conditions in combustion settings along with circumstellar envelopes of carbon-rich stars and planetary nebulae. These reactions highlight the importance of methyl-substituted aromatic reactants (biphenyl, naphthalene) which can be converted to the methylene (–CH 2 ˙) motive by hydrogen abstraction or photolysis. Upon reaction with acetylene, methylene-substituted aromatics carrying a hydrogen atom at the ortho position of the ring can be then converted to cyclopentadiene-annulated aromatics thus providing a versatile pathway to five-membered ring aromatics at elevated temperatures.

Hanging droplets from liquid surfaces

Natural and man-made robotic systems use the interfacial tension between two fluids to support dense objects on liquid surfaces. Here, we show that coacervate-encased droplets of an aqueous polymer solution can be hung from the surface of a less dense aqueous polymer solution using surface tension. The forces acting on and the shapes of the hanging droplets can be controlled. Sacs with homogeneous and heterogeneous surfaces are hung from the surface and, by capillary forces, form well-ordered arrays. Locomotion and rotation can be achieved by embedding magnetic microparticles within the assemblies. Direct contact of the droplet with air enables in situ manipulation and compartmentalized cascading chemical reactions with selective transport. Applications including functional microreactors, motors, and biomimetic robots are evident.

Sockeye is a heat pipe analysis application based on the Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) finite element framework. The primary purpose of Sockeye is to provide a transient heat pipe simulation tool to be used in the analysis of nuclear microreactor designs. Sockeye provides the capability to perform one-dimensional, two-phase, compressible flow simulation of a heat pipe working fluid and two-dimensional, axisymmetric heat conduction for the heat pipe cladding and its surroundings. Sockeye is demonstrated against analytical solutions and experimental data from the SAFE-30 heat pipe module test.

A MOOSE-Based Model for Fission Product Transport and Source Term Estimation for High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors

Thanks to fuel elements containing tristructural isotropic (TRISO) particles combined with a low core power density and passive feedback mechanisms leading to modest temperature rises in the event of accidental events, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) offer a high degree of reliability in terms of fission product retention. While the anticipated source term for HTGRs is expected to be very low, it is important to provide a quantitative estimate of radiological releases during nominal and accidental conditions. Here, we propose a computationally efficient mechanistic source term methodology relying on the Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) for tracking fission product transport from TRISO particles up to the coolant pressure boundary, as well as modeling the transport and potential deposition of these nuclides inside the reactor coolant loop. The proposed computational scheme is applied to estimate source term inventories for a representative 10-MW(thermal) prismatic high-temperature microreactor and is qualitatively compared against known release fractions. In addition to providing an alternate analysis tool, this MOOSE model can help reactor designers quantify the influence of key design parameters relevant for studies of radiological dose consequences.

RELAP5-3D Capabilities for High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Analysis

RELAP5-3D is the premier systems thermal-hydraulic code in the world. The code has been used significantly for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) analyses over the last 10 years, but there has not been a comprehensive summary of RELAP5-3D capabilities and methods for HTGR modeling. In this paper, we provide a guide for how novice users can build models for prismatic HTGRs. This guide includes best practices for developing heat structures and setting up radiation and conduction heat transfer. We also provide a summary of relevant validation studies. These studies are divided into three categories: separate effects tests, integral effects tests, and nuclear reactor studies. We present a comprehensive review of RELAP5-3D HTGR applications for reactor modeling over the last 10 years. These applications include work for the Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor benchmark, design activities for a prismatic HTGR as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Demonstration and Test Reactor Options Study, and studies performed to design gas-cooled microreactors. Following the comprehensive literature review, we present a gap analysis highlighting capabilities of RELAP5-3D that are available and missing for a complete analysis of HTGR thermal hydraulics. We also discuss the limitations of existing code capabilities and potential improvements that could improve analyses. Current research efforts have yet to fully validate RELAP5-3D for a prismatic HTGR analysis; however, some of this is attributable to confounding factors in the available experimental data as opposed to code capabilities. In conclusion, this paper presents the most comprehensive review to date on RELAP5-3D capabilities, limitations, and applications for HTGR analysis.

Assessment of Critical Experiment Benchmark Applicability to a Large-Capacity HALEU Transportation Package Concept

This work presents an assessment of the applicability of existing benchmark critical experiments to the criticality safety code validation for a large-capacity high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) transportation package concept. Numerous next-generation nuclear reactor designs require HALEU fuel, which is characterized by an enrichment between 5 and 20 wt% 235 U. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has proposed to recover and downblend highly enriched uranium from DOE-owned used nuclear fuel to accelerate the demonstration of commercially viable microreactor technologies. One element of the infrastructure needed to demonstrate HALEU-fueled reactors is the ability to safely transport enriched product to be used for fuel fabrication. There is uncertainty as to whether existing critical benchmark experiment data are sufficient to support criticality safety code validation for HALEU transportation applications. The anticipated chemical form of the HALEU in the proposed transportation concept is UO 2 with 20 wt% 235 U/U. The concept uses a combination of an existing transportation packaging design and a novel basket design, including borated aluminum flux traps. The basket provides space for 18 reusable, stainless steel canisters that contain the HALEU. In 10 CFR 71, normal conditions of transport (NCTs) and hypothetical accident conditions (HACs) are defined for fissile material transportation packages. NCT and HAC KENO-VI models of the transportation package were developed using the Standardized Computer Analyses for Licensing Evaluation (SCALE) 6.2.3 computer code package, and optimum moderation conditions were determined using the SCALE SAMPLER sequence. The SCALE Tools for Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis Methodology Implementation (TSUNAMI) sequences were then used to compare the neutronic characteristics of 1584 International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project benchmark critical experiments with the NCT and HAC HALEU transportation models. The TSUNAMI integral correlation coefficient c k was the criterion used to rank neutronic similarity. Thirty-four experiments were identified as similar (c k ≥ 0.9) to the NCT model, and 55 experiments were identified as similar to the HAC model. Hundreds of experiments were also identified as at least marginally similar (c k ≥ 0.8) to both models. The results indicate that additional critical experiments are unlikely to be needed to support HALEU transportation criticality safety analyses for package concepts similar to the concept package analyzed.

MOOSE Reactor Module: An Open-Source Capability for Meshing Nuclear Reactor Geometries

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program has developed numerous physics solvers utilizing the open-source Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) framework for multiphysics reactor analysis. These solvers require input finite element meshes representing the discretized spatial domain. Typically, reactor analysts turn to licensed tools for the creation of reactor geometry meshes. Recently, open-source functionality has been added to the MOOSE framework to mesh common reactor geometries and improve MOOSE-based nuclear reactor application user workflows. The new functionality is primarily contained in the new Reactor module of MOOSE and includes support for hexagonal pins, assemblies, and cores, extended Cartesian geometry support, options for modeling static and rotating control drums within a hexagonal assembly, core periphery triangulation, and automatic tagging of pin, assembly, plane, and depletion regions for easier post processing of physics results. A set of reactor geometry mesh builder objects further streamlines the construction of hexagonal and Cartesian cores and allows mapping of materials to regions during mesh generation. The meshes produced with the MOOSE Reactor module may be used directly within MOOSE-based applications or exported as Exodus II files for use in other finite element solvers. The tools have been demonstrated and verified using a variety of NEAMS physics solvers on a range of reactor applications, including a sodium-cooled fast reactor core analysis using Griffin, a fast reactor assembly thermal deformation analysis using MOOSE Tensor Mechanics, and a heat pipe–cooled microreactor coupled analysis using Griffin, Bison, and Sockeye. MOOSE’s Reactor module provides significant advantages compared to the use of external meshing tools when analyzing Cartesian and hexagonal reactor lattices using MOOSE-based applications: immediate accessibility (open-source) to the end user, low barrier to entry for new users, speed of mesh generation, volume preservation of meshed fuel pins, and simplification of analysis workflow when used in conjunction with MOOSE-based applications.

Optimizing Hydride Stability in U-ZrH x Nuclear Fuel: The “Goldilocks Radius”

Nuclear-powered microreactors show great promise for opening new nuclear energy markets due to the flexibility offered by their rapid/streamlined in-factory fabrication, transportability, and self-regulating nature. The economic benefits of any commercialized nuclear reactor, however, rely on the system’s ability to produce large amounts of heat and efficiently convert that heat into electrical power reliably for long periods of time. Uranium-zirconium hydride (U-ZrH x ) is currently being considered for compact reactor designs because it is a well-known nuclear fuel system that is self-moderating, but this fuel, which has historically been used for research reactors, has not been optimized for commercial power production. Here, this paper analyzes the hydride stability of standard 304 stainless steel–clad U-ZrH x fuel under commercially relevant conditions. Fuel element design parameters, including physical dimensions, as-fabricated hydrogen content, burnup, peak fuel temperature, temperature gradient, operational fuel cycle duration, and volumetric heat generation rate, are discussed with a focus on hydrogen distribution and phase stability within the fuel element. Hydride stability declines more rapidly as the coolant temperature, burnup, and fuel cycle duration increase. Using a fuel-cladding gap material with heat transfer properties superior to air, such as helium or sodium, is essential to prolonging fuel hydride stability. The fuel’s physical dimensions are also important. At very small fuel diameters, the H/Zr ratio in the fuel meat decreases too rapidly due to the hydrogen content’s dependence on fuel meat volume. Conversely, the fuel meat temperature and temperature gradient exacerbate hydrogen loss at very large fuel diameters. We find that the most important parameter to consider when optimizing the hydride stability of U-ZrH x fuel is the relationship between the fuel meat radius and the power density in the fuel. A simple equation is empirically determined that relates the “Goldilocks radius,” that is, the fuel radius for which the H/Zr ratio is most stable, to the power density in the fuel.

Welch Method and Bootstrapping Applied to Subcritical Gamma Noise

We measured the prompt neutron decay constant 𝛼 of the CROCUS zero-power reactor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne using cross-power spectral density (CPSD) analysis of gamma-gamma correlations from two trans-stilbene organic scintillators positioned near the reactor core. We measured critical and subcritical states, with water levels ranging from 960 mm (critical) to 800 mm (𝜌=−1.4 $ subcritical). Our analysis used the Welch method, dividing signal segments for fast Fourier transform (FFT) frequency analysis and applying bootstrapping uncertainty quantification that uses Welch-defined segments. Results demonstrated a clear increase in the measured 𝛼 as reactor reactivity decreased, distinguishing critical from subcritical conditions. At the 960-mm critical level, 𝛼 was estimated at 155.9 ± 0.7 s −1 , and for the 800-mm subcritical level, 𝛼 increased significantly to 367.3 ± 6.9 s –1 . A linear regression of subcritical states yielded a critical estimate of 154.0 ± 3.1 s –1 , aligning with the static 𝛼 estimate at critical. The bootstrapping method produced normally distributed 𝛼 estimates, confirming data consistency. The gamma CPSD 𝛼 estimates clearly distinguish reactor states and improve monitoring of zero-power reactors. The future deployment of modular and microreactors as potential candidates for noise analysis is demonstrated in CROCUS, particularly zero-power mock-ups of new designs. The improvement of noise analysis in the subcritical domain from this work will support experimental data for reactor deployment and procedure.

SCALE Shielding Calculations for Advanced Reactor Accident Scenarios

The study results presented in this paper demonstrate the capabilities of the SCALE computer code for non–light water reactor (non-LWR) radiation source term and shielding calculations in support of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission non-LWR fuel cycle demonstration project. Representative non-LWR types, including the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), the molten salt reactor (MSR), and the heat pipe microreactor (HPMR), were analyzed to evaluate dose rates associated with postulated accident scenarios (SFR and MSR), reactor operation (MSR and HPMR), and fuel self-protecting characteristics (HPMR). New features were implemented in SCALE depletion codes to better simulate MSR operation.

Evaluation of Radiation Transport Through a Nuclear-Grade Sandwich Composite

The development and deployment of microreactors are often synonymous with their transportability; however, designing a shield which is appropriate for both transportation and operations is challenging. A recent approach is the use of composite style shield which combines the reactor pressure vessel and biological shielding into a single unit to enhance the shields effectiveness without degrading the structural properties. To assess the viability of a nuclear grade sandwich composite (NGSC), and understanding of how radiation transports through the shield needs to be understood to select the appropriate materials. This work examines a two-layered NGSC of varying thicknesses with two primary shielding materials (tungsten-tetraboride cermet and boron carbide). To assess the NGSC, quantities of interest including neutron attenuation, photon attenuation, energy deposition, displacements per atom, helium generation, and dose are examined. Altogether, it is found that a combination of both tungsten-tetraboride and boron carbide are necessary to act as an appropriate shield, where the order in which these materials are place in the composite are important to their effectiveness.

Temperature Field Reconstruction of Surfaces Heated Through Radiative Heat Transfer Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Microreactors could play a crucial role in decarbonizing our energy portfolio. However, their development and implementation come with specific challenges, particularly regarding cost. Due to their compact size and the harsh operational environment, collecting real-time data on reactor operation can be challenging. Many probe designs are unable to withstand extreme conditions (e.g., temperature, radiation) in the reactor. In this context, using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can pave the way for developing a nonintrusive approach that relies solely on ex-core sensors. A well-trained physics-informed CNN can reconstruct the distribution of a given physical quantity over a domain using only a few sensors, allowing us to reconstruct the desired field distribution even in a limited space or complex geometries where a large array of sensors is impractical. In this work, we present the initial steps toward developing a real-time tool for monitoring the thermal behavior of nuclear reactor pressure vessels. Based on an experimental setup, a computational model using the Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (moose) framework was built, where the Ray Tracing and Heat Conduction modules were used to evaluate the temperature distribution over a convex metal surface heated through radiative heat transfer. This metal surface represents a section of a heated nuclear reactor vessel wall. The model also accounts for solid mechanics physics through the moose Solid Mechanics module. In situ experimental data, acquired from a Texas A&M facility, were used to validate the computational model. Part of the data generated by the moose model was used to train the convolutional neural network to reconstruct the vessel wall's outer surface temperature. The CNN generalization was then compared against the experimental and computational data.

Gas-phase synthesis of anthracene and phenanthrene via radical-radical reaction induced ring expansions

Unraveling reaction mechanisms of aromatic and resonance-stabilized radicals is critical to understanding molecular mass growth processes to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous nanoparticles in distinct astrophysical environments (molecular clouds, circumstellar envelopes) and combustion systems. Using photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy (PEPICO), we explored the gas-phase reaction of the methyl radical (CH 3 • ) with the aromatic and resonance-stabilized fluorenyl radical (C 13 H 9 • ) under high-temperature conditions in a chemical microreactor. Anthracene and phenanthrene were detected isomer-selectively using photoionization efficiency (PIE) curves and mass-selected threshold photoelectron (ms-TPE) spectra. While phenanthrene is produced through a radical-radical recombination of the carbon-centered radicals, anthracene may plausibly be formed through an unconventional radical addition to a low spin-density fluorenyl carbon. These pathways result in five-membered ring expansion—a critical mechanism crucial to PAH mass growth converting bent PAHs into planar nanostructures.

Comparison of nested geometry treatments within GPU-based Monte Carlo neutron transport simulations of fission reactors

Monte Carlo (MC) neutron transport provides detailed estimates of radiological quantities within fission reactors. This involves tracking individual neutrons through a computational geometry. CPU-based MC codes use multiple polymorphic tracker types with different tracking algorithms to exploit the repeated configurations of reactors, but virtual function calls have high overhead on the GPU. The Shift MC code was modified to support GPU-based tracking with three strategies: dynamic polymorphism with virtual functions, static polymorphism, and a single tracker type with tree-based acceleration. On the Frontier supercomputer these methods achieve 77.8%, 91.2%, and 83.4%, respectively, of the tracking rate obtained using a specialized tracker optimized for rectilinear-grid-based reactors. This indicates that all three methods are suitable for typical reactor problems in which tracking does not dominate runtime. The flexibility of the single tracker method is highlighted with a hexagonal-grid microreactor problem, performed without hexagonal-grid-specific tracking routines, providing a 2.19× speedup over CPU execution.

Hydrogen transport in yttrium hydride under asymmetric heat

Metal hydrides are a promising moderator material for high temperature fission reactors. Yttrium hydride can be loaded to a high hydrogen density with relatively high hydrogen stability at temperatures up to 800°C. This makes yttrium hydride a potential moderator material for microreactors as foreseen in the fission surface power program. However, during the operation of such advanced reactors temperature gradients are expected which can change the local hydrogen density in the moderator. Hydrogen diffusion in metals is driven by a concentration gradient (Fick’s law) and thermal diffusion (Soret diffusion). Thermal diffusion is the transport of hydrogen, or other species, due to a temperature gradient. For example, hydrogen might migrate from the hot side of a sample to the cold side of a sample. Measuring Fickian diffusion is achieved through various permeation or absorption experiments, however measuring thermal diffusion is challenging and has rarely been performed. The Hydrogen Experimental Apparatus for Thermal Diffusion (HEATD) experiment is designed to induce thermal diffusion in samples and quench those samples so that the hydrogen distribution can be analyzed using hot vacuum extraction (HVE). One side of the sample was heated to a high temperature e.g., 800°C, while the other side of the sample is at a lower temperature. The sample was held under the applied temperature gradient for a given time until the anticipated hydrogen diffusion has occurred. The actual time depends depend on the sample composition and hydrogen concentration. The results from HVE showed that thermal diffusion took place in the specimen and the Soret coefficient was calculated.

Horizontal Split Table Conceptual Design for Advanced Reactor Validation

Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are collaborating to develop a conceptual design for a horizontal split table for use in performing critical experiments. The goal of this design effort is to provide nuclear data testing and validation capabilities for advanced reactors such as pebble-bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, molten salt reactors, and heat pipe microreactor, but it could also be used for the current generation of reactors. The first concept being explored for the horizontal split table, a pebble-bed design based on the HTR-10 reactor, is described in this paper. A critical configuration corresponding to a footprint of about 4.5 m 2 was determined with SCALE/KENO-VI to fit the planned dimensions of the horizontal split table. The similarity of the pebble-bed design and the HTR-10 reactor application was assessed using SCALE/TSUNAMI, and a similarity coefficient $c_k$ of 0.9982 was obtained, proving that the concept will be useful for nuclear data validation and assimilation of pebble-bed type advanced reactors. In the proposed design, the materials with the highest $k_{eff}$ sensitivity are graphite and uranium, demonstrating that particular care must be given to carbon-related cross-section data. The effect of mechanical uncertainties between the fixed and moving tables was also assessed by calculating the reactivity change caused by vertical and horizontal gaps, as well as angular and torsion offsets between the two sides of the horizontal split table concept. The highest relative changes on the concept’s reactivity were caused by angular perturbations. The same analysis process is currently being used to create a molten salt advanced reactor type horizontal split table concept based on the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE).

Evaluation of Thermal Neutron Scattering Cross Sections for CaH 2

Solid metal hydrides have long been considered viable moderators for nuclear reactor designs due to their moderating ratios, hydrogen densities, high dissociation temperatures, and mechanical properties. CaH 2 is an orthorhombic saline-hydride that has recently been investigated and shows promise for use as a moderator in microreactors. At present, there is no Thermal Scatting Law (TSL) evaluation for CaH 2 in the ENDF/B-VIII.0 database. An evaluation does exist in the JEFF-3.3 database, performed by Serot, however it was limited by the implemented methods and thus both drastically over-predicts the incoherent elastic contribution and completely ignores the coherent elastic contribution to scattering from the metal ions. The thermal neutron scattering cross sections of CaH 2 are evaluated in this work to establish accurate data for use in reactor design. The present evaluation corrects the inaccuracies of the JEFF-3.3 data, and yields three distinct libraries: Ca in CaH 2 , H 1 in CaH 2 , and H 2 in CaH 2 .

Development and Characterization of 3D-Printed Cementitious Sytems for Innovative Nuclear Systems

The Transformational Challenge Reactor (TCR) is being developed to demonstrate a revolutionary approach to deploying new nuclear power systems by building and operating an additively manufactured microreactor. This initiative provides a unique opportunity to investigate the possibility of taking advantage of the recent development of the 3D-printed concrete system using the Sky Big Area Additive Manufacturing (SkyBAAM) printer at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Two pathways have been pursued in parallel since the end of the second quarter of FY19: 1. Development of methods to characterize the performance of additive manufacturing concrete using traditional Portland-cement based solution, and 2. Investigation of the opportunity to develop innovation of printable materials with higher irradiation-resistance performance using nontraditional concrete solutions in favor of carbonated cementitious materials (CCMs). This report describes the results achieved to date for both pathways. The main results are listed below: 1. A test protocol has been established to characterize the fracture properties of 3D-printed concrete; this protocol will be used to assess the performance of printed traditional and nontraditional cementitious materials, with a focus on performance of the interfaces inherent to the additive manufacturing process. 2. A state-of-the-art review of the mechanisms, fabrication method, and performance of CCMs was conducted. CCMs appear to be a viable, highly innovative, more performant alternative to Portland-based cementitious solution for the erection of biological shield pending some materials development.
