Status and prospects of China sodium-cooled fast reactor

Three-step development of fast reactor: Experimental, Demonstration, Commercial. CEFR Project: One of the largest item of China national ''863'' hi-tech plan; Pool type, sodium cooled experimental fast reactor with tertiary circuit; Main parameters (Reactor core); Main test programs in the CEFR Physical start-up. China Demonstration Fast Reactor (CFR600); Design for High Safety: Goal Elimination of Off-site Emergency; Three shut-down methods including Fluid suspension control safety rods; Passive designs applied in pressure protection of main vessel, siphon breaker, rupture disk to avoid large sodium-water reaction. CFR1200 Preconception design: Requirements - Review GIF SDC for CFR1200, Review Guidance for Developing Principal Design Criteria for Advanced (Non-Light Water) Reactor, Top requirements for CFR1200 pre-concept design, System requirements for CFR1200 pre-concept design.; TRA - Methodology, Assessment S-CO2 conversion system and passive shutdown system.; S-CO2 conversion system - Implementation plan of the S-CO2 conversion system research: scope and contents of the research, parameter package, technical specification document.
