Inherent safety evaluation of a long-life fast reactor (SALUS-100) under unprotected loss of heat sink conditions

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology
The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is developing the long-life sodium-cooled fast reactor SALUS-100, designed for continuous 20-year operation without refueling. The concept adapts the proven technology of the Prototype Generation-IV SFR (

Improvement of aseismic performance of a PGSFR PHTS pump

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2020
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

Ultrasonic ranging technique for obstacle monitoring above reactor core in prototype generation IV sodium-cooled fast reactor

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2020
As the refueling of a sodium-cooled fast reactor is conducted by rotating part of the reactor head without opening it, the monitoring of existing obstacles that can disturb the rotation of the reactor head is one of the most important issues.

Preliminary Selection of Device Materials to Locally Transform Thermal into SFR Neutron Spectrum

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The safe introduction of Generation IV (Gen IV) reactor concepts into operation will require extensive testing of their components. This must be performed under neutronic conditions representative of those expected to prevail inside the new reactor cores when in operation.
