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 ...

Shape optimization of a sodium cooled fast reactor

SNA + 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 ...

Fuels for sodium-cooled fast reactors: US perspective

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2007
Abstract The US experience with mixed oxide, metal, and mixed carbide fuels is substantial, comprised of irradiation of over 50 000 MOX rods, over 130 000 metal rods, and 600 mixed carbide rods, in EBR-II and FFTF alone. All three types have been demonstrated capable of fuel utilization at or above 200 GWd/MTHM.
