Safety issues for advanced-fueled LMFBRs
Description
The safety issues for LMFBRs fueled with the candidate advanced-fuels, particularly for commercial size reactors, are reviewed and comparisons drawn with oxide-fueled fast reactors. The extent to which the difinition and resolution of safety issues for advanced-fueled reactors draws on the current level of understanding for oxide-fueled reactors is highlighted. Areas of technology in which work is required and underway to resolve the safety issues are also highlighted
