LMFRs R and D knowledge preservation: Sodium coolant (viewgraphs)

Within the principles of the study it was demanded to select the major documents to keep the knowledge on sodium for the next thirty years. In order to do so, it was necessary ro have a small presentation text, and a limited number of references. This study must be performed in a limited time. Experts for different item were selected among CEA, EDF and Framatome staff. The main item treated were: general knowledge on sodium, primary sodium, secondary sodium Experimental feedback from Phenix and Superphenix, Argon cover gas, future coolants compared to sodium, books and general conferences on sodium. The selection on sodium coolant is ready for the future: the knowledge preservation is on the way, but it is considered as very convenient for the present as well
