International Symposiums on SCWRs

The IAEA (2014) has produced a detailed summary of many aspects of supercritical natural-circulation thermal hydraulics and heat transfer for water reactors. The IAEA has identified SCWR concepts in Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Russia, and the Euratom organization. A report on the seventh International Symposium on SCWRs has been released (Penttila, 2015). Supercritical CO2 has also been proposed as the working fluid. Sarkar et al. (2014) gave a state-of-the-art review for supercritical water, and Vijayan et al. (2013) have investigated the steady-state and stability properties of supercritical CO2 NCLs. Ampomah-Amoako and Ambrosini (2013) have applied CFD for analyses of stability of flows of supercritical flows.
