Description

A sodium cooled metal fuel fast reactor core design study was performed. The proposed new core concept is characterized by single Pu-enrichment and 2 radial regions with differing heavy metal density metal fuels. The core had the potential to achieve an outlet temperature of 550degC while taking into account the fuel/cladding compatibility concerns. The breeding ratio of the core reached 1.0 without blanket fuel. These results show the potential for a capability of sodium cooled metal fuel core to be one of the attractive fast reactor core concepts for the future. (author)
