A 900 MWe pool-type plant has been developed, to approximately the same level as current U.S. loop-type LMFBR plant designs, in a conceptual design study sponsored by EPRI. Concentrating on areas of the plant unique or especially important to the pool concept, this report covers the reactor deck; the design of internal structures, seismic response and construction of the reactor assembly; the thermal behavior of the plant during part-power operation and during transients; the auxiliary heat transport systems; the instrumentation and control systems; and the Balance of Plant. The main conclusion arising from this work is that the large pool-type LMFBR is a viable concept suitable for use in the United States.
