Description

In Phase I of the Feasibility Studies on the Commercialized Fast Reactor (FR) Cycle System, plant designs on FR were performed with various coolants. This report describes the plant designs on water coolant FR, molten salt coolant FR, small sized FR, and the evaluation of 6 FRs including sodium, lead-bismuth and gas FRs. A construction cost of 0.2 million yen/kWe was set up as the design goal. The result is as follows: The sodium FR has the capability to obtain the goal, and FRs with lead-bismuth, gas and water coolants may satisfy the goal with further improvements. (author)
