Provided herein is a liner that can be loosely inserted in process pipe to form a lined pipe and to decrease the rate of heat transfer between process fluids flowing through the liner and the process pipe. The liner provided herein can reduce applied thermal loading on the outer pipe resulting from, for example, turbulent mixing between fluids having different temperatures (with or without stratification), circumferential thermal gradients, and/or longitudinal thermal gradients. An annulus between the process pipe and liner can be at least partially filled by process fluids, thereby creating a thermal buffer to further decrease the rate of heat transfer between the fluids and the process pipe.

A plurality of heat transfer pipes; a first header and a second header to which both ends of each of the heat transfer pipes that are disposed in parallel are fixed, respectively; a plurality of plate-shaped fins through which each of the heat transfer pipes is penetrated and that are provided at intervals in a direction in which the heat transfer pipes extend between the first header and the second header; and a fan that circulates an airflow between the plate-shaped fins are included. The first header and the second header are formed to be sectioned into multiple rows, the heat transfer pipes are disposed densely in an sectioned area of the first header and the second header, and the heat transfer pipes are disposed sparsely in an area between the sectioned areas of the first header and the second header.

A printed circuit heat exchanger for use in a reactor includes a core formed from a stack of plates diffusion bonded together. The core has: a top face, a bottom face disposed opposite the top face, a first side face extending between the top face and the bottom face, and a second side face disposed opposite the first side face. The printed circuit heat exchanger includes: a plurality of primary channels defined in the core, each of the primary channels extending from a primary inlet defined in the first side face to a primary outlet defined in the second side face; and a plurality of secondary channels defined in the core, each of the secondary channels extending among at least some of the primary channels from a secondary inlet defined in the top face to a secondary outlet defined in the top face.

A passive containment cooling system (PCCS) condenser, for reducing some non-condensable gases in the PCCS, includes a first and a second stage condenser that each include channels in fluid communication between an inlet and an outlet header. The inlet header of the first stage condenser is configured to receive a fluid mixture through a first inlet opening. The channels are configured to condense water from the fluid mixture flowing through the channels from the inlet header to the outlet header, respectively, of the first and second stage condenser. The PCCS condenser includes a catalyst in at least one of the outlet header of the first stage condenser or the inlet header of the second stage condenser. The catalyst catalyzes a reaction for forming water from hydrogen and oxygen in the fluid mixture. The outlet header of the second stage condenser is in fluid communication with a combined vent-and-drain line.

Method of fabricating structures, such as parts for use in nuclear power generation systems, are described herein. A representative method of fabricating a part for a nuclear reactor system includes additively manufacturing the part as a monolithic structure from a wire formed of an oxide dispersion strengthen (ODS) material, which includes an oxide material dispersed within a metal material. Specifically, the method can include directing a beam of thermal energy toward the wire to melt the wire, and permitting the melted wire to cool and solidify to form the part such that the oxide material remains substantially dispersed within the metal material. By maintaining the dispersion of the oxide material within the metal material, the ODS material can retain a good creep resistance, wear-resistance, corrosion resistance, and/or other ODS material property at elevated temperatures—even after fabrication.

The present invention relates to a connecting apparatus for a steam generator disposed between a steam generator and a flow mixing header to fasten the steam generator to the flow mixing header in a sealed manner, and an integral reactor including the same. Fastening the steam generator to the flow mixing header in a sealing manner includes: a base plate mounted on the flow mixing header having a through hole formed at the center thereof; and a steam generator connecting portion protruding along the circumference of the through hole in the base plate allowing an outlet of the steam generator to be inserted and fastened thereto. Since the connection for the steam generator is tightly fastened to the flow mixing header, leakage of a coolant therebetween is prevented, and since the steam generator is horizontally disposed in the flow mixing header, structural stabilization may be achieved.
