Summary view on the EFR safety approach

  • 1. NNC Risley (United Kingdom)
  • 2. Siemens AG, Bergisch Gladbach (Germany)

Description

The most recent statement reflecting some development dealing with the European Fast Reactor (EFR) safety approach is presented. Sensible and reasonable steps have been taken to enhance the passivity of the EFR design for each of the safety functions, i.e. shutdown, cooling the containment and the DRC system which is capable of removing decay heat by natural convection. The overall success of the passive measures is apparent from the grace time capability of the plant of 32 hours after loss of the station service using only the emergency battery supplies
