NEUP CINR-19-17416: Experiments and computations to address the safety case of heat pipe failures in Special Purpose Reactors.

The project is focused on heat pipe micro-reactors. The advantage of liquid metal heat pipes is that they can operate at very high temperatures (around the boiling point of the working fluid) and are fully passive heat removal devices.
