NEUP CINR-23-29455: Thermal-Hydraulics Assessment of SiC Compared to Other ATF Cladding Materials and its Performance to Mitigate CRUD

The present proposal aims to experimentally investigate the thermal-hydraulics performance of SiC compared to the Cr-coated zircaloys and APMT ATF cladding materials under accident scenarios, including both DNB and dryout conditions. The present proposal is divided into five tasks that will advance the understanding of the operation and optimization of heat pipes for advanced nuclear reactors.
