The super-critical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) is one of six types of Gen-IV reactors. Based on the current mature pressurized water reactor technology, it has several advantages, including high conversion ratio, high breeding of nuclear fuel, high thermal efficiency, and a simplified system. However, due to the combination of water coolant and fast neutron spectrum, there is a need to address safety problems caused by the positive void coefficient. The purpose of this paper is to give a study on physical characteristics for the reactor core. H...
