Supercritical Water Convection Loop (NSC KIPT) for Materials Assessment for the Next Generation Reactors

Abstract

The current status of the development of the KIPT sited Canada-Ukraine Electron Irradiation Test Facility, integrating the specially designed Supercritical Water Convection Loop with an irradiation chamber coupled to a 10 MeV, 10 kW LPE-10 linac, is described with special attention paid to the methodology of future simulation experiments and the results of computer modeling of thermal- hydraulic and irradiation specific parameters of the facility.
