UAM Airspace Research Roadmap - Rev. 2.0

The UAM Airspace research roadmap is being developed as a new System Engineering methodology leveraging Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) capabilities to help organize, integrate, and communicate NASA's UAM airspace research, with the goal of evolving UAM airspace to UML-4. It provides a basis for prioritizing and coordinating research efforts, and for integrating results that build towards NASA’s research goals. Version 2.0 is a baseline version of the roadmap, shared publicly to serve as a focal point for discussion and feedback. This version supersedes earlier publications, and will be superseded itself by later versions.

Geothermal Uncertainty Representation in reV: the Renewable Energy Potential Model

We present a preliminary methodology for including geothermal resource uncertainty into the Renewable Energy Potential model, which estimates potential capacity and costs on a gridded surface at the national scale. The uncertainty outputs characterize the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile for geothermal resources using two energy capacity estimation equations. We then present a method and results that demonstrate how other geologic data layers, which may be indicative of permeability, can be used to inform the mean and standard deviation of the geothermal capacity. We demonstrate how the mean and standard deviation can be defined or partially informed by using collocated regression estimates and estimate errors, respectively . These regression results are from 36 observed geothermal power plants in the Great Basin region and are also used to benchmark the P10-P90 calculations.

GDE-55115 Rev 1 Dome Scheduling Application

This document describes how a reactor developer applies for time in the Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) facility. It also describes how applications are evaluated to develop the annual and outyear DOME schedule. The application process assumes that testing in DOME is funded by the applicant, and may be superseded by government-funded projects to accommodate government priorities.

This document reports the thermal hydraulic analyses results for the MARVEL microreactor, final design, including dry criticality, normal operation, operational transients and a set of very-low probability transients caused by accident conditions. The ultimate scope of this document is to demonstrate the MARVEL microreactor thermal hydraulic performances and its inherent safety. First, the list of the operational and accidental transients with the corresponding acceptance criteria are recalled. Then, details of the final design, the key input parameters, the assumptions, and the methodology used for performing the deterministic safety analyses are presented. Finally, the analyses results are provided, demonstrating the satisfaction of the corresponding acceptance criteria.

ECAR-6440 Rev 2 MARVEL Hazard Evaluation

This hazard evaluation supports the Microreactor Applications Research, Validation, and Evaluation (MARVEL) Project’s design effort and the development of the preliminary documented safety analysis (PDSA) (addendum to safety analysis report [SAR]-420, “Transient Reactor Test [TREAT] Facility FSAR”) (SAR-420-ADD-1). The hazard evaluation process for the MARVEL project for compliance with the requirements in 10 CFR 830, “Nuclear Safety Management,” follows a process similar to the Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) as outlined in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)-18-04, “Risk-Informed Performance-Based Guidance for Non-Light Water Reactor Licensing Basis Development,” and supporting documents. The LMP process is adapted to fit Department of Energy (DOE) reactor regulatory requirements as applicable and appropriate using a graded approach based on the MARVEL microreactor design. This approach provides reasonable assurance of meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 830 for protection of the public, workers, and environment.

ECAR-5127 Rev 1 Evaluation of the MARVEL Reactor Inhalation Dose Consequences

The following dose consequence analysis is performed to support the preliminary Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation Project (MARVEL) design effort. The purpose of the MARVEL project is to develop a nuclear microreactor applications test bed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to perform research and development on various operational features of microreactors to ultimately improve integration of microreactors to end-user applications. The MARVEL concept is a 100 kilowatt (kW) thermal (kWth) and approximately 20-kW electric (kWe) generating microreactor. The MARVEL system will be located in the INL TREAT facility in the north high-bay equipment pit. This ECAR considers the bounding release fractions of the MARVEL reactor concept and documents the dose consequences to the public and collocated worker.

ECAR-6599 Rev 0 PCAT Walls Temperature Distribution, Beryllium Inserts and Fuel-to-Fuel Gap Tolerance Analysis

This document reports the primary coolant system structures temperature distribution for the Primary Coolant Apparatus Test (PCAT) of the MARVEL microreactor. The temperature distributions have been calculated using the RELAP5-3D system code, using one-dimensional approximation, and considering radial heat losses, effects of thermal insulators, and hot spot factors. Sensitivities on the Be inserts dimensions tolerances and heater-to-heater pitch has been also performed, investigating the effects on the NaK and heater cartridge sheath temperatures.

SPC-71145 Rev 0 MARVEL Process Heat Extraction System Conceptual Design

The Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) reactor will offer experimental capabilities that are not currently available at DOE’s national laboratories. The MARVEL reactor is a microreactor which uses eutectic sodium-potassium alloy (NaK) as a primary coolant. The primary coolant is circulated through four primary loops by natural convection of the coolant. In each loop is a closed well which will accommodate an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) for extracting heat from the loop. These wells will be referred to in this specification as the “IHX wells”. It is intended for the IHX containment to also be filled with NaK. The MARVEL design team is currently looking for alternative means of extracting heat from these wells to be utilized in downstream applications. This Heat Utilization System (HUS) will enable MARVEL operations including the ability to test, demonstrate, and address issues related to installation, startup, and operations. In addition, it will allow down-stream utilization of process heat for various uses. Depending on the methodology used, the interface between the secondary coolant and the HUS is the Process Heat Extraction System (PHES) and is the subject of this specification.

SPC-2918 Rev 0 MARVEL Test Loop Flowmeters

This specification contains the requirements for the design, manufacture, testing, and delivery of magnetic flowmeters to be installed on the MARVEL Primary Coolant Apparatus Test (PCAT) system. The PCAT system is a heated test loop which will be used to simulate the coolant system of a proposed sodium or NaK cooled microreactor. The system has four identical cooling loops. Installation of flowmeters on all four loops is anticipated at this time, however, the number of flowmeters may be reduced by the Project. Note that the number of flowmeters described herein is not a commitment to a particular number of procured units. The number of flowmeter units procured shall be identified on the purchase order. The MARVEL reactor is still under design, so the PCAT flowmeter design may not be directly transferrable to the reactor. It is intended that the design and development effort for the PCAT flowmeters be leveraged to the extent practical for the reactor flowmeter design.
