**3. Specifications of generic 1200-MWel PT SCWR**

The core of a generic 1200-MWel PT SCWR consists of 300 fuel channels that are located inside a cylindrical tank called the calandria vessel. There are 220 SuperCritical-Water (SCW) fuel channels and 80 Steam Re-Heat (SRH) fuel channels. SRH and SCW fuel channels are located on the periphery and at the center of the core, respectively. In terms of neutron spectrum, the studied PT SCWR is a thermal-spectrum reactor. In this thermalspectrum PT SCWR, light-water and heavy-water have been chosen as the coolant and the moderator, respectively. The coolant enters the supercritical fuel channels at an inlet temperature of 350°C and reaches an outlet temperature of 625°C at a pressure of 25 MPa. The inlet temperature of the SuperHeated Steam (SHS), which is used as the coolant, in the SRH fuel channels, is 400°C and the corresponding outlet temperature is 625°C at an operating pressure of 5.7 MPa. Table 1 lists the operating parameters of the generic 1200- MWel PT SCWR (Naidin et al., 2009).
