Study on containment related problems of sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor

Sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor (SFR) is a recognized the most promising commercial fast reactor type. However, due to aspect of materials, coolant and economic reasons, the domestic is still in the experimental reactor stage at present, and lack regulations, standards and technology of the SFR's containment design. Through the analysis of SFR's containment design basic and relevant safety requirements, puts forward some ideas about the SFR's containment design form the nuclear safety reviewers point of view, as a reference for the design of the large SFR's containment.
