Master's thesis/internship opportunity at ENEA
Topic: Thermal design of the transfer flask used for the core reload operations of the ALFRED lead-cooled reactor
Where: Bologna
Details: For reloading the ALFRED reactor, it is planned to use a lead-filled container, into which the assemblies can be transferred so that the residual heat still generated after the reactor shutdown can be passively removed from them by the coolant contained in the container. It is necessary to analyze the ability to permanently remove the decay power of the assemblies by heat conduction through the container wall, and then by convection or radiation from the same wall to the external environment, in a completely passive manner.
