Structural Analysis of the Core Performance in Liquid Metal Nuclear Reactors
How do you measure structural performance in liquid metal nuclear reactors? It’s not your conventional civil/structural engineering analysis because of the change in material properties with respect to time, temperature, and neutron flux. The FFTF reactor is an example of a liquid metal nuclear reactor. Please join us as local WSU PhD candidate Julie Dewberry discusses this very challenging topic.
