Noise And Vibration Mitigation System For Nuclear Reactors Employing An Acoustic Side Branch Resonator
US Patent:
8393437, Mar 12, 2013
Filed:
Feb 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/027322
Inventors:
Gianluca Longoni - Pittsburgh PA, US

Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Company LLC - Cranberry Township PA
International Classification:
F01N 1/02, F01N 1/04, F01N 1/08, F01N 1/00
US Classification:
181250, 181276
Abstract:
A method of designing/making an acoustic side branch resonator structured to be coupled to a standpipe of, for example, a nuclear power plant, wherein the acoustic side branch resonator includes a plurality of wire mesh elements for damping purposes. The method includes determining a resonant frequency of the standpipe, determining an active length of the acoustic side branch resonator using the resonant frequency, and determining a particular number of the wire mesh elements to be used in the acoustic side branch resonator and a pitch of each of the wire mesh elements using momentum and continuity equations of a compressible fluid.

Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Company LLC - Cranberry Township PA
International Classification:
G21C 17/108
US Classification:
376254
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a computational system and method to analyze a radiation field in a light water nuclear reactor. The system and method include a radiation transport module for performing a neutron and gamma transport calculation of a reactor geometry model of the light water nuclear reactor for at least one fuel cycle; a material analysis module for analyzing flux data calculated by the radiation transport module for materials and/or components within the light water nuclear reactor; and a mobile component tracking module for calculating radiation exposure for components within the light water nuclear reactor which have more than one different location during or between the at least one fuel cycle.
Reactor Dosimetry Applications Using A Parallel 3-D Radiation Transport Code
US Patent:
2009008, Apr 2, 2009
Filed:
Sep 25, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/237429
Inventors:
Gianluca LONGONI - Pittsburgh PA, US
International Classification:
G01T 3/00
US Classification:
25039003
Abstract:
The invention relates generally to a method for the calculation of radiation field distributions employing a new parallel 3-D radiation transport code and, a multi-processor computer architecture. The code solves algorithms using a domain decomposition approach. For example, angular and spatial domains can be partitioned into subsets and, the subsets can be independently allocated and processed.
