Shape optimization of a sodium cooled fast reactor

open access: yesSNA + MC 2013 - Joint International Conference on Supercomputing in Nuclear Applications + Monte Carlo, 2014
Traditional designs of sodium cooled fast reactors have a positive sodium expansion feedback. During a loss of flow transient without scram, sodium heating and boiling thus insert a positive reactivity and prevents the power from decreasing. Recent studies led at CEA, AREVA and EDF show that cores with complex geometries can feature a very low or even ...

A summary of sodium-cooled fast reactor development

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2014
Abstract Much of the basic technology for the Sodium-cooled fast Reactor (SFR) has been established through long term development experience with former fast reactor programs, and is being confirmed by the Phenix end-of-life tests in France, the restart of Monju in Japan, the lifetime extension of BN-600 in Russia, and the startup of the China ...

Safety of sodium-cooled fast reactors

Soviet Atomic Energy, 1977
The accumulated experience in the operation of NPP, including those with fast reactors, shows that during normal operation, with due regard for possible operational difficulties and accidents, they ensure a significantly lower level of risk for personnel and the surrounding population than is present in industrial regions and those prone to natural ...

Subassembly identification by ultrasound in sodium cooled fast reactors

2018 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC), 2018
To prevent fuel handling errors in sodium cooled fast reactors, identifying fuel subassemblies by ultrasound is a method that is being studied. It is based on the reading of a code (aligned notches) engraved on the subassembly head by an emitting/receiving ultrasonic sensor. This reading is performed in sodium with high temperature transducers.
