Description

Following the detection of a sodium leak from the fuel storage drum of the Super Phenix LMFBR reactor, investigations have been undertaken in order to: check again that the design of the storage main vessel was right, make an assessment of the vessel behavior under the actual loadings supported during its two first years of life, check the mechanical properties of materials (in purchase and present conditions), find whether the leak could be explained by design failure or unexpected material properties
