Implementation of Solar Salt Properties Into ARIANT and Simulation of Pressurized Loss of Forced Circulation in a High Temperature Gas-Cooled Small Modular Reactor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Small modular reactors (SMRs) are actively being considered for use in Canada. Some proposed SMRs can make use of solar salt as an intermediate coolant for a heat storage system. The development of thermalhydraulic simulation tools is one of the key capabilities needed to examine the performance of SMRs and license this class of reactors. This article summarizes the implementation of molten solar salt fluid properties into the algorithm for analysis of network thermalhydraulics (ARIANT) and uses this code to simulate a high temperature gas-cooled SMR with helium and solar salt as its primary and secondary coolants during a pressurized loss of forced circulation (PLOFC) event. This work demonstrates the ability of ARIANT to simulate transient events in a two-loop reactor system consisting of helium and solar salt as coolants and helps to establish ARIANT as a tool for SMR analysis.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
