Evaluation of reactivity control design concepts in advanced LMRs
- 1. KINS, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
Reactivity control design concepts of advanced LMRs (Liquid Metal Reactors), such as KALIMER of Korea, PRISM of the U.S.A., DFBR of Japan, EFR of Europe, show a tendency to introduce an individual passive backup shutdown system or to install passive device in the conventional active reactivity control system in order to assure the reliability of reactivity control function. As reactivity control means, the aforementioned advanced reactors use the following facilities: an active reactivity control system, an active/passive backup shutdown system, and passive devices such as GEM, ETEM, ATHENa, and CREED. Design concepts of each facility were compared and analyzed to evaluate the safety of reactivity control design concepts of KALIMER. Suggestions to assure the reliability of reactivity control design of KALIMER were also provided
