Transient behavior of the sodium–potassium alloy heat pipe in passive residual heat removal system of molten salt reactor
TL;DR: In this article, a passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) of molten salt reactor (MSR) using sodium-potassium alloy (NaK) heat pipes is proposed in detail, and then the transient behavior of high temperature NaK heat pipe is numerically investigated using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in the case of MSR accident.
