Enhanced passive safety features against ATWS of fast breeder reactors with capabilities of MA incineration
- 1. Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan)
Description
The paper gives an outline of the general and simple reactivity correlation method to identify the region of the major design parameters that assures power stabilization and passive shutdown of sodium-cooled large fast reactors under ATWS conditions. Based on the model developed, general design guidelines are shown that enhance passive capabilities being aimed at preventing sodium boiling and fuel failures in the events of ULOF and UTOP. Discussions extend to the influences of minor actinides loading in the core onto the passive safety features. 6 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab
