Conceptual Design of Fuel Building of SFR Demonstration Reactor Developed in KAERI

The conceptual designs of a SFR (sodium-cooled Fast Reactor) and key technological developments were promoted through the Korea national long term R and D projects. The conceptual design of a SFR demonstration reactor of 600MWe capacity has been developed in 2012 through the project by KAERI. The preliminary general arrangement of reactor building and fuel building have performed taking into account of the layout criteria of main systems, components, transport of equipment, and accessing paths to core assemblies inside the buildings. In this paper, firstly the design concept of the SFR fuel building was explained. Second, the layouts of the main systems, equipment, and wall compartments are shortly described. Third, the import and export paths of the core assemblies to and from the fuel handling and storage buildings are represented and the vertical height variations of the paths are figured out to exam any technical issues. Finally, a three-dimensional conceptual solid model of the fuel handling and storage building was built for checking design availability
