Now, the nuclear
power plant
stands on the
border between
humanity's
greatest hopes
and its deepest
fears for the
future. Atomic
energy offers a
clean energy with
huge demand.

Concept of ADANE: the granular coolant of flow gravity
For example: SiC grains coolant and SiC Hexagonal prism
中国科学院近代物理研究所
Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Why is the granular flow coolant?
Low pressure inter-fluid (He)
High thermal inertia
The grains can be optimized for
Fast spectrum
Low radio-toxicity
High temperature system
Small erosion and chemical toxicity…
Why is the SiC rods and assembly?
Better mechanism structure and DPA
Have chance to support deep burning

Potential Advantages of ADANE
 Continuable energy (U238) & Close Fuel Cycle
 Operation Scheme: Waste Transmuted, Fuel Breeding and
Energy Amplified in Situ;
 Long life (>10 yrs) fuel cladding, high burn up UNF/DU/LEU… 
Sustainability (Fuel breeding, waste minimized)
 Keff ≤ 0.97, Passive Safety  Safety & Reliability
 High Operational Temperature  compensation for Egain(ACC)
 Modular Reactor Reduce cost / higher quality
 Remove part of FP from UNF  Proliferation resistance
 Limit Fissile & waste quantity  Physical protection
…
 Pyro processing is more suitable to remove part of FP from UNF
 Pellet Fuel, SiCf/SiC Composite Cladding are favor for core
