Abstract

This paper describes two typical studies on thermal hydraulic problems on high temperature reactors. The first concerns the core heat transfer performance of a pebble bed core, the second deals with thermal stresses on the core outlet region of a high temperature reactor. These simulations are performed with the TRIO_U/PRICELES code developed by the C.E.A.
