Preliminary Structural Evaluation of the SMFR Core Support Structure

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The advanced reactor concepts are needed to meet the waste management, further enhanced safety, nonproliferation, and resource challenges that must accompany the deployment of increasing numbers of nuclear power plants. The SMFR(Small Modular Fast Reactor) was developed jointly by an international collaborative effort to achieve technical consensus. The SMFR has the design features of a pool-type arrangement, sodium coolant, 60 years plant life, 30 years core life, top reactor support and so on. In this study, the preliminary structural integrity for the SMFR core support structure including the inlet plenum and reactor vessel(RV) bottom head is investigated by using the ASME-NG rules for a normal operating condition
