Optical design of beam for proton therapy energy selection system based on CYCIAE-230 superconducting cyclotron by ZHAO Bohan, GUO Qiankun, ZHANG Tianjue, WANG Chuan, YIN Zhiguo, SONG Qiqi, HE Aolai, LIU Zhan, WANG Xi, HU Mingzhi, LIU Jingyuan, WANG Yang, ZHU Xiaofeng, XIONG Rui, JIANG Tianyi

“…Existing schemes for controlling the emittance are based on switching combinations of collimators with different apertures, where the adjustable emittance is limited by the number of combinations of apertures, and the need for a small aperture collimator upstream or downstream of the ESS to suppress the beam intensity limits the possibility of increasing the high-energy beam intensity.PurposeThis study aims to propose the beam optics design of proton therapy energy selection system (ESS) on the basis of the superconducting cyclotron CYCIAE-230 under development by the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) that can flexibly control the beam emittance and transmission.MethodsFirst of all, the main optical design features of this ESS was described, and the Monte Carlo method based FLUKA code was applied to calculating the beam emittance, energy, and energy spread of a proton passing through a degrader with a set of collimators. …”

Thermodynamic Evolution of Flaring Loops with Nonlocal Thermal Transport by S. Belov, T. Parmenter, T. Arber, D. Kolotkov, F. Reale, T. Goffrey

“…This occurs when the mean-free-path of electrons can no longer be assumed to be small. Using a modified version of the Lare2d code, we study the evolution of flare-heated coronal loops under three thermal transport models: classical Spitzer–Härm (SH), a flux-limited (FL) local model, and the nonlocal Schurtz–Nicolaï–Busquet (SNB) model. …”

Multi-objective optimization and parameter sensitivity study on microreactor nuclear power systems by Ersheng You, Yiyi Li, Jianjun Xu, Dianchuan Xing, Haochun Zhang

“…For such applications, it was not only needed to achieve high system thermal efficiency, but also needed to achieve as small as possible and light in weight. Aiming at the MRNPS based on Brayton cycles, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method was used to carry out the optimization calculation and analysis of three target parameters: system thermal efficiency, power-to-weight ratio and radiator heat removal area. …”

Inherent safety evaluation of a long-life fast reactor (SALUS-100) under unprotected loss of heat sink conditions by Junkyu Han, Nam-il Tak, Sun Rock Choi, Hyun-Sik Park, Jonggan Hong, Ji-woong Han, In Sub Jun, Huee-Youl Ye, Jeong Ik Lee

“…The concept adapts the proven technology of the Prototype Generation-IV SFR (PGSFR) to a non-light-water small modular reactor platform. To verify that these inherited technologies still provide the intrinsic sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR) safety features—negative reactivity feedback and passive decay-heat removal via the diverse residual heat-removal system (DRHRS)—an unprotected loss-of-heat-sink (ULOHS) analysis was performed.The transient calculations employed GAMMA+ 2.0, a system code validated against data from JOYO, PFBR, Monju, EBR-II, FFTF and other SFR facilities. …”
