LSPB integrated safety approach
Description
The Large-Scale Prototype Breeder (LSPB), a 1320-MW(e) (net) loop-type conceptual liquid-metal reactor (LMR) plant, has been a joint effort of Electric Power Research Institute's Consolidated Management Office and the US Department of Energy's Office of Breeder Demonstration Projects since October 1982. Conceptual design of the loop plant was completed in September 1984. A pool-type reactor design effort is currently in progress. LSPB's safety approach is unique. Deterministic and probabilistic approaches have been integrated in the nuclear plant design process. The result is a plant design that meets LSPB's primary objective - to achieve an LMR that is safe and economic
