Integral Reactors TRIZ Cases

A support structure decouples seismic forces from reactor modules using base isolation elements and damping devices.

Merging water and air cooling schemes in one unit eliminates periodic water supplementation while maintaining high cooling efficiency.

Sealed power module uses buoyancy-driven flow to remove decay heat without external power, preventing radioactive release during site power loss.

Multiple plenums with varying tubesheet perforation densities resolve pressure stability issues in nuclear reactor steam generators.

Positioning a decay heat heat exchanger above the core center enables natural circulation, resolving reliability and complexity trade-offs.

Extracting the upper core plate reduces flow resistance and manufacturing costs while maintaining alignment through mating features.

Helical blades on a central shaft curve upward coolant flow, increasing residence time to stabilize power response and reduce fuel requirements.

Segmented receivers and intermediary cables maintain continuous monitoring while moving reactor modules between bays.

A dynamic neutron reflector assembly adjusts composition, temperature, and volume to manage the neutron spectrum within a molten fuel salt core.

A spacer grid design uses a non-central spring direction switch to enhance structural integrity.

A robotic manipulator withdraws in-core instrumentation through a removable lower reactor vessel head.
