NEUP CINR-18-14893: Evaluation of Economics Benefits of Accident Tolerant Plants Through Risk-Informed Approaches

The objective of the proposed work is to explore the potential risk and economics improvements by implementing practical Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATFs) concepts and FLEX-type systems in current Light Water Reactors (LWRs). The study will focus on the thermal-hydraulic and fuel performance responses of the reactor system in accident scenarios up to the initiation of fuel damage.
