The Integral Fast Reactor

Nuclear Technology, 1989
The Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) is an innovative liquid metal reactor concept being developed at Argonne National Laboratory. It seeks to specifically exploit the inherent properties of liquid metal cooling and metallic fuel in a way that leads to substantial improvements in the characteristics of the complete reactor system.

Structural integrity of fast reactor components

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1990
Abstract The paper focuses on the generic aspects of the main structural integrity issues in the liquid-sodium-cooled fast reactor. The choice of sodium as a coolant has important consequences for the deformation and failure process in the materials used for the main plant components. For example, its high boiling point means that the

Investigations on the integrity of fast breeder reactor piping and components

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1985
Abstract Results of investigations made with respect to the integrity of LMFBR (Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor) piping and components are presented. The classification of sodium systems as Moderate Energy Fluid Systems is shown to be an important principal element to determine the failure mechanisms which are relevant.

Integrated Multi-Modular Fast Reactor Concept Design

Volume 2: Plant Systems, Structures, and Components; Safety and Security; Next Generation Systems; Heat Exchangers and Cooling Systems, 2012
The Integrated Multi-Modular Fast reactor is a pre-conceptual small modular fast reactor design consisting of 7 self-consist subcritical modules, each utilizing a BeO-MOX concept fuel with complete supercritical CO2 brayton cycle turbo-machinery. The subcritical modules, when brought into proximity of one another, form a complete critical reactor core.
