Description
This paper describes two kinds of liquid metal cooled small fast reactors. A metallic fuel, which has inherent safety features, high breeding capability and so on, is applied to each reactor. One of them is a MDP (Modular Double Pool, 325 MW(e)), which has been designed to reduce the construction cost and to improve reliability by factory manufacturing of the most components. The other is 4S (Super Safe, Small and Simple, 50-100 MW(e)), which has been designed to obtain a long life core, while maintaining a negative sodium void coefficient during operation. (author)
