A small modular reactor (SMR) is a nuclear reactor that is characterized by its smaller size
and capacity when compared to traditional large-scale nuclear reactors. An SMR is often …

The complex dynamics of a quarter‐scale model of a graphite nuclear reactor core,
representative of the second generation of British advanced gas‐cooled nuclear reactors, is …

The reactor cores of the Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) are made up of a large,
three-dimensional array of interlocking graphite bricks. To assess the seismic performance …

Seismic response analyses of structures have conventionally used the peak ground
acceleration or spectral acceleration as an intensity measure to estimate the engineering …

To evaluate the structural safety of the graphite core in a gas-cooled micro-reactor and to
assess its structural response under seismic loads, a study was conducted. By comparing …

A surrogate machine learning model was developed with the aim of predicting seismic
graphite core displacements from crack configurations for the advanced gas-cooled reactor …

This paper presents the design, development and evaluation of a unique non-contact
instrumentation system that can accurately measure the interface displacement between two …

Abstract The Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors (AGRs) are a vital component of the UK's
electricity supply system. Their continued reliable operation is supported by safety cases that …

This work features an important structural engineering project that provides experimental
and numerical predictions to support the safety cases of the Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors …

The safe shutdown of Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) nuclear power stations in
response to a seismic event is vital to their safety case. The tubular graphite bricks used to …
