The Concept of the Heat Removal System of a High-Flux Research Reactor by Vitaly Uzikov, Ildar Suleimanov, Irina Uzikova

“…Achieving high neutron fluxes in research pressurized water reactors is directly related to the intensity of the coolant flow through the core and the pressure in it, which provides an increased saturation temperature and a margin to critical heat flux. Therefore, it is practically impossible to provide very high neutron fluxes in pool-type reactors, especially in the case of downward movement of the coolant in the core. …”
