Evaluation of isotopic composition of fast reactor core in closed nuclear fuel cycle
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The strategy of the development of nuclear power in Russia provides for use of fast power reactors in closed nuclear fuel cycle. The PRORYV (i.e. «Breakthrough» in Russian) project is currently under development.

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger – the Heat Transfer Area Design Process
Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2017 Nowadays, the operating nuclear reactors are able to utilise only 1 % of mined out uranium. An effective exploitation of uranium, even 60 %, is possible to achieve in so-called fast reactors. These reactors commercial operation is expected after the year

VALIDATION OF COOLANT THERMAL RESPONSE IN A TRANSIENT FINITE DIFFERENCE THERMAL TRANSPORT MODEL WITH APPLICATIONS TO FAST SPECTRUM REACTORS [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 Transient behavior in nuclear reactors is important in accidents and with reactivity control systems that are driven by thermal feedback. Here, we describe a transient finite difference model for a pin cell system.

A MULTIPHYSICS SIMULATION SUITE FOR SODIUM COOLED FAST REACTORS [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 A simulation suite has been developed to model reactor power distribution and multiphysics feedback effects in Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs). This suite is based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) and employs a general, unstructured mesh to solve ...

CHIMIA, 2005 The long-term vision of a sustainable nuclear energy system is an important driver for the development of fast reactors because, apart from generating energy, these can serve as fuel-producing factories or transuranic waste burners.
