Uranium Enrichment Reduction in the Prototype Gen-IV Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor (PGSFR) with PBO Reflector [PDF]
The Korean Prototype Gen-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR) is supposed to be loaded with a relatively-costly low-enriched U fuel, while its envisaged transuranic fuels are not available for transmutation.

Improvement of aseismic performance of a PGSFR PHTS pump
Abstract A design study was performed to improve the limit aseismic performance (LSP) of a primary heat transport system (PHTS) pump. This pump is part of the primary equipment of a prototype generation IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR). The LSP is the maximum allowable seismic load that still ensures structural integrity. To calculate the LSP of
