Description

In the present report, the projects of reactors with the lead-based coolant are considered. This class of reactors has the advantages and limitations. The main of advantages is enhanced safety and the main of restrictions is the limitation on power, both originate from natural properties of lead-based coolants. This limitation uniquely determines lead-technology reactors as medium - and small-power systems. (author)
