Description

A description of the French demonstration prototype sodium cooled fast breeder reactor Phenix has been given in an earlier IAEA publication and a comprehensive listing of design and operational parameters is presented in another. Therefore, it is not proposed to give an extended description of the plant here, three figure show the general arrangement of the reactor: isometric view, the elevation through Phenix primary circuit and flow diagram, described below
