  • 1. Russian Research Center 'Kurchatov Institute' - RRC KI, 1, Kurchatov sq., 123182, Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

The main objective of developing the RBEC-M lead-bismuth fast reactor project was to demonstrate the possibility to combine advantages of existent reactor technologies in one nuclear power facility to improve economic and breeding parameters in comparison with BN-type reactors and, simultaneously, to enhance safety parameters. Main RBEC-M reactor parameters, especially related to reactor safety, are considered in the paper. (author)
