Core dynamic studies show that the kinetic response of the SRE with the fast-fuel test section remains that of a thermal reactor (please see Section I-E). The proposed control and plant protective systems are those existing for SRE with the addition of two shim rods. Present safety studies show that the installation of a fast-fuel test section (FFTS) will not compromise the operational reliability or safety characteristics of the reactor power plant. The present containment structure surrounding the SRE core provides a conservative degree of confinement for radioactivity release under credible accident conditions. As now conceived, no modifications to building containment is required for the installation of the fast-fuel test section in the SRE reactor core. SRE containment and radioactive waste disposal systems are applicable to the operation of the SRE with the FFTS installed.
