Overview of PEC core design and requirements for PEC core restraint systems

Creators

  • 1. ENEA, Dipartimento Reattori Veloci, Bologna (Italy)

Description

The Italian PEC reactor is an experimental loop type fast reactor of 120 MW thermal. Its main purpose is the in-pile development of fast reactor fuel. The mechanical principles in PEC core design and current modifications to ensure a safe seismic perturbation and shutdown are discussed in this paper. These anti-seismic modifications are aimed to limit the extent of reactivity perturbation during the seismic event and to guarantee control rod entry at any time during the seismic event
