(a) Schema of AVR with flow pattern in air ingress. (b) Calculated maximum temperatures in AVR air ingress at different air flow. (c) Calculated maximum oxidation degree (burn-off) of fuel elements in AVR air ingress for different air flow. (d) Calculated total and pebble bed burn-off in AVR air ingress for different air flow.
