Description

The Curie Point Electro-Magnet (CPEM) will be installed as a passive shutdown system for the French Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (ASTRID) which is conducted in collaboration between France and Japan. To confirm the CPEM design validity, a qualification program for the CPEM was developed on the basis of a past comprehensive test series of the Self-Actuated Shutdown System (SASS) of Japan. This paper presents the qualification program and results of holding force tests in hot gas, which is a part of the qualification program. The results showed that the CPEM could satisfy the design requirements. Moreover, the result of a numerical magnetic field analysis showed the same tendency as the holding force test. (author)
