Neutronic Analysis of Various Fuels for the TEPLATOR HT
Original language description
In the light of a new world’s approach focusing on energy decentralisation and decarbonisation, the development of Small Modular Reactors is crucial. The new small reactor TEPLATOR produces low-cost heat for various purposes, such as district heating or process heat. To supply process heat, a high temperature is required. For this reason, a high-temperature version of the TEPLATOR with corresponding fuel is under development. TEPLATOR HT with high output temperature assumes using the organic coolant, which affects the possibility of using contemporary fuels available on the market. This paper focuses on preliminary neutronic analyses that evaluate the coupling of an organic coolant with various available fuel geometries and assesses the feasibility of using certain fuels assuming minimal design changes. All fuel material combinations and geometries were tested in TEPLATOR geometry to choose an appropriate candidate for TEPLATOR HT that can withstand higher operational parameters. Based on the results, it will be decided whether existing fuel can be used for TEPLATOR HT or whether a new fuel type needs to be developed.
