Some Safety Considerations Based on Design Experiences in the BNL Settled-bed Fast Reactor Concept
The mechanical design of a fast reactor can greatly affect its safety under a loss-of-coolant accident. This short discuss will focus on one of the dominant safety features of the Settled Bed Fast Reactor (SBFR) concept, a concept we introduced at the conference two years ago. This safety feature can be of importance not only for reactors having fuel elements consisting of packed beds of fuel particles in random or ordered arrangement, but also for other reactor concepts.
