Description
France has built two power producing fast breeders: the 250 MWe PHENIX and the 1200 MWe SUPER-PHENIX-1 (with European participation) and is presently working on the preliminary design of a third 1500 MWe reactor SUPER-PHENIX-2. The upper closures of these pool type reactors are essential structural elements since they fulfill several vital functions. The following points are briefly discussed in this paper: The different facilities which have contributed to validate the SPX1 and SPX2 upper-shuttings: Gulliver, Coca, Germinal; the numerical methods which were perfected to validate the calculation of the penetrations; a heat balance which is used to estimate the temperature of the cover gas; the solution adopted to avoid the aerosols deposits
