An Overview of SFR Safety and Licensing R&D in the USA

Summary of Ongoing SFR Safety R&D: • Development of enhanced safety technologies for accident prevention and mitigation through science-based R&D; • Preserving and managing data, knowledge, and experience related to past U.S. DOE SFR operations and tests; • Enhancing the training of next generation engineers engaged in advanced fast reactor concept design, methods development and safety analysis; • Engaging the international community in bilateral or multilateral agreements in fast reactor R&D; • Providing initial verification and validation basis (i.e. focus and direction) for emerging advanced modeling and simulation programs
