Second Joint GIF-IAEA/INPRO Workshop on Safety Aspects of Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors. Presentations

The overall objective of the Workshop was to share information among R&D leaders of GIF and the IAEA (INPRO and TWGFR) on technical issues related to the safety of sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). Specific attention was given to the following aspects: • Lessons learned from the Fukushima-Daiichi accident, to be taken into account in the design of SFRs. • Harmonization of safety approaches and goals for the design of SFRs, which would contribute to the harmonization of the safety criteria utilized in GEN IV SFRs. • Approaches to identify technical issues relevant to the safety of SFRs, for which further investigation is deemed necessary, and current and planned R&D activities to help resolve them.
