Time dependent heat transfer of proliferation resistant plutonium
Time dependent heat transfer of proliferation resistant plutonium
This study was found by simulating public information on Lightbridge’s fuel design for pressurized water reactors. This study explores the temperature profile and maximum stress within a simple (first generation design) hypothetical nuclear explosive device of four unique scenarios over time. Analyzing the transient development of both the temperature profile and maximum stress not only establishes a technical limit on the 238Pu content, but also establishes a time limit for which each scenario
