Research topics from publications: Process heat applications of HTR-PM600 in Chinese petrochemical industry: Preliminary study of adaptability and economy; Experimental study on the adsorption and desorption of tritium in the graphite materials for HTR-PM; The R&D of HTGR high temperature helium sampling loop: From HTR-10 to HTR-PM; Analysis of Fission Products’ Release in Pebble-Bed High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Fuel Elements Using a Modified FRESCO II Numerical Model. Representative work: The radiation safety design and emergency analysis of an advanced nuclear system highly depends on the source term analysis results. In modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), the release rates of fission products (FPs) from fuel elements are the key issue of source term analysis. The FRESCO-II code has been established as a useful tool to simulate the accumulation and transport behaviors of FPs for many years. However, it has been found that the mathematical method of this code is not comprehensive, resulting in large errors for short-lived nuclides and large time step during calculations. In this study, we used the original model of TRISO particles and spherical fuel elements
