NEUP IRP-24-32435: Novel Device for Enhanced Access to Ultimate Heat Sink for Reduced Cost and Risks and Accelerated Site-Neutral Deployment of Advanced Reactors

This project will complete and optimize the design of a recently patented heat removal concept/device for nuclear reactors. The new device will be examined and demonstrated via modeling and prototype construction and testing. The project goals are to (1) enhance reactor safety, (2) increase achievable safe power levels, which improves the economy of reactor plants, (3) reduce capital costs per unit of generated energy, and (4) free the plant from site-specific deployment constraints.
