Title of Paper:

Thermal consideration of CANDU-SCWR sliding pressure startup through subchannel analysis

Journal:

Nuclear Engineering and Design

Summary:

A startup system and startup procedures are designed based on the subchannel analysis for CANDUSCWR
sliding pressure startup. Lookup tables are selected to predict the CHF and PDO heat transfer
due to their wide application range. Plant parameters are analyzed in detail. The results show that the
maximum cladding surface temperature can be well restricted lower than criterion (850 ◦C), and the
proposed startup procedure is feasible for CANDU-SCWR from the point of view of thermal-hydraulics.
