Dual Purpose Canister Filling Assessment to Support Direct Disposal

摘要

The performed filling simulations of the lower region (mouse holes) of a prototypic DPC show successful removal of the inner space voids and smooth (even) liquid level progression. Several liquid metals and surrogates are being tested as potential candidates for fillers. The problem requires intensive computing and is a good candidate for high performance computing application.Future work includes filling the upper regions of the canister, assessing options for filling through the drain pipe, and model validation on lab scale experiments.
