Future SuperCritical Water-cooled nuclear Reactors (SCWRs) will operate at a coolant pressure close to 25MPa and at outlet temperatures ranging from 500°C to 625°C, i.e., above the critical pressure and temperature of the water (22.06MPa and 373.95°C, respectively). Coolant pressures higher than critical values will be used to avoid boiling and eventual critical heat flux that may occur. In addition,...
