Development of an Advanced Multiphysics Simulation Capability for Radiant's Microreactor Design

Argonne National Laboratory and Idaho National Laboratory, through a Department of Energy Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear Voucher, supported key analysis needs of Radiant related to (i) air jacket thermal fluid performance, (ii) evaluation of decay heat source terms defining air jacket technical requirements, and (iii) assessment of modeling methodologies employed for core analysis. All of these activities center on numerical simulation of various aspects of Kaleidos using the Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) framework, the Cardinal multiphysics application, the OpenMC Monte Carlo code, and the Nek5000 computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. This project builds upon an earlier Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Thermal-Hydraulic (T/H) Center of Excellence (CoE) project focused on initial demonstration of Cardinal multiphysics simulation of High Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGRs) and now focuses on Radiant’s Kaleidos concept.
