This invention describes the design of a thermal management system for use in a transport
container to be used to ship a microreactor as illustrated in Fig. 1. Since the microreactor continuously
generates heat during the transport, the microreactor vessel’s surface temperature must be kept below
85 oC to prevent damages to the components inside the reactor and ensure safety. Radiation shielding
must also be provided for safe transport. The new Thermal Management System proposed can meet
these needs and satisfy the thermal limits and radiation shielding requirements.
