Abstract

Supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR), as the only water-cooled reactor of six Generation-IV reactor systems, has obtained a significant attention. SCWR is designed as a once-through water-cooled reactor system because water as the working fluid is considered as a single-phase fluid under the supercritical pressure.
