| Summary: | Energy Well (EW) is a concept of a small modular reactor, designed as a source of energy for places with low infrastructure. Its design combines TRISO fuel particles, graphite moderator and molten salt coolant. One of key features is that the active core is small and therefore easy to transport. Residual heat estimation of EW fuel assembly is conducted using two different computation codes, SCALE and SERPENT. The obtained residual heat power is then used as an input in TRACE model of the EW to obtain the development of residual temperature in the coolant in the core inlet and outlet and also maximum temperature on the outer side of a fuel slab. The resulting temperatures are below the operational temperature.
