Description

This paper gives the status of the 2400 MWth Gas cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) preconceptual design by the end of year 2005. Most of the design issues are discussed: the core, the primary system, the general system arrangement and the decay heat removal systems. Some preliminary safety evaluations have been made including transient analyses using the CATHARE computer code. (authors)
