Study on Influence of Upper Sodium Plenum Design on Coolant Boiling Transient in Large MOX Fuel Fast Reactor [PDF]
Yuanzineng kexue jishuUnprotected loss of flow accident is severe for sodium-cooled fast reactor in that it will cause the boiling of sodium and then cause severe accident. For large MOX fuel sodium-cooled fast reactors, the sodium void reactivity is positive, which can make ...
