Proposed Adaptation of the Standard Review Plan NUREG-0800, Chapter 4 (Reactor) for Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors and Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors
This report provides a proposed adaptation of a previous regulatory gap analysis of Chapter 4 (Reactor) of NUREG-0800 , Standard Review Plan (SRP) for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light Water Reactor] Edition, for applicability to advanced reactors; specifically, the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) and the modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (mHTGR). SRP Chapter 4, which addresses reactor components, was selected for the review because of the possible significant differences in advanced non-light water reactor (non-LWR) technologies compared with the current LWR-based Chapter 4. SFR and mHTGR technologies were chosen for this gap analysis because of their diverse designs and the availability of significant historical design detail. This report satisfies M3AT-16OR2001042, “Complete Development of an Advanced Reactor Adaptation of Chapter 4 NUREG-0800,” in support of the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) Advanced Reactor Technology program.
