M. Saidur Rahman Turjak 15.0 W/m⋅K) completely eliminates the thermal penalty. OpenFOAM simulations of the ATF pins demonstrate that the peak centerline temperatures are reduced by 50 K compared to the interior of the UO2 core (690 K vs. 740 K), yielding a drastic reduction in localized sensible stored energy. Neutronic safety is strictly preserved, maintaining deeply negative Fuel and Moderator Temperature Coefficients (−1.895 pcm/K and −36.533 pcm/K) alongside a robust B4C Control Rod Worth (65,323.56 pcm). These results demonstrate that the hybrid ATF assembly fundamentally improves LOCA coping times while enhancing the overall economics of the reactor.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnuen.2026.1857667 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnuen.2026.1857667 <![CDATA[RADRISK Inspector: a mobile application for shielding design and safety distance calculation in industrial gamma radiography]]> 2026-06-10T00:00:00Z Original Research M.
