Safety design features of the STAR reactors

Creators

Description

The reactor concepts addressed in this section are the SSTAR and STAR-LM small lead cooled reactors without on-site refuelling, developed in the Argonne National Laboratory and other national laboratories of the USA. Detailed descriptions of these concepts are presented; short summaries of the concepts are given. The inherent safety features and passive safety design options of the STAR-LM are similar to those of the SSTAR. Because it would be redundant to list them, they are not reproduced below; the reader is referred to the sections on SSTAR
