Proceedings of the workshop on the cooling of advanced reactors

Nuclear power has become to meet electric power demand by considerable proportion, and the peaceful utilization of atomic energy steadily returns scientific and technological results to the society. As to the problem of 'Heat removal from high performance nuclear reactors' taken up successively since the last year, there are the problem of heat transport in the reactors of new types as the source of energy supply, especially the pursuit from the viewpoint of the improvement of safety and reliability related to thermal engineering, and regarding nuclear reactors, the problem of the design and operation control of experimental facilities under the utmost condition in the core and its vicinity, not only the problem of reactors proper. Particularly regarding research reactors, precision has become to be demanded in addition to the safety and reliability thermally for various facilities. In the workshop of this year, the presenting of reports and discussion were carried out from the standpoint of thermal engineering on fast reactors and light water reactors of next generation, new research reactors and experimental facilities.
