Lessons Learned Through the CRBRP Licensing Process: High-Temperature Structural Design
- Westinghouse Electric Corp., Madison, PA (United States). Advanced Energy Systems Div.
This report contains a road map of that part of the licensing process for the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBRP) related to high-temperature structural design. The CRBRP licensing experience pertaining to high-temperature structural design, while not carried through to completion, has significant implications for the licensing of future liquid metal reactors (LMRs). The licensing experience, from development of the CRBRP structural design basis to final resolution of all regulatory concerns about structural adequacy is reviewed in this report and significant lessons learned are noted. It is concluded that the structural design issues raised by regulatory authorities must be meaningfully addressed before any future LMRs can be licensed for operation.
