A testing program is being conducted in Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) to demonstrate the inherently safe characteristics of a liquid-metal reactor (LMR), to identify the key plant characteristics that contribute to inherent safety, and to provide a data base for computer code verification. Specifically, the goals of the program are: (1) Demonstrate passive decay heat removal by natural circulation. (2) Demonstrate inherent, passive shutdown capabilities for loss of flow (LOF). (3) Demonstrate inherent, passive shutdown capabilities for loss of heat sink (LOHS). (4) Provide benchmark data for validation of design and safety analysis codes. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the results of the tests that have been conducted and to provide plans for tests to be conducted within the next year.
