Those areas or cells within LMFBR plants that contain radioactive sodium systems are provided with certain design features which eliminate or limit potential sodium/concrete reaction and thus protect the concrete structure in the event of an accidental sodium spill. The principal design feature within these cells that controls sodium spill effects is the cell liner system. The development of such a system design for the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBRP) is presented in this paper. The basis for cell liner designs is described, including general design criteria, materials and welding requirements, system design requirements, load categories and loading combinations and allowable stress and strain levels. Results of stress analysis and design details of the cell wall and floor systems are presented, including provisions for protection of the concrete structure against high temperature effects.
