A review of inherent safety characteristics of metal alloy sodium-cooled fast reactor fuel against postulated accidents

Journal Article Sofu, Tanju - Nuclear Engineering and Technology

The thermal, mechanical, and neutronic performance of the metal alloy fast reactor fuel design complements the safety advantages of the liquid metal cooling and the pool-type primary system. Together, these features provide large safety margins in both normal operating modes and for a wide range of postulated accidents. In particular, they maximize the measures of safety associated with inherent reactor response to unprotected, double-fault accidents, and to minimize risk to the public and plant investment. High thermal conductivity and high gap conductance play the most significant role in safety advantages of the metallic fuel, resulting in a flatter radial temperaturemore »« less

A domain-specific analysis system for examining nuclear reactor simulation data for light-water and sodium-cooled fast reactors

Journal Article Billings, Jay Jay ; Deyton, Jordan H. ; Forest Hull, S. ; ... - Annals of Nuclear Energy (Oxford)

Building new fission reactors in the United States presents many technical and regulatory challenges. Chief among the technical challenges is the need to share and present results from new high- fidelity, high- performance simulations in an easily consumable way. In light of the modern multi-scale, multi-physics simulations can generate petabytes of data, this will require the development of new techniques and methods to reduce the data to familiar quantities of interest with a more reasonable resolution and size. Furthermore, some of the results from these simulations may be new quantities for which visualization and analysis techniques are not immediately availablemore »« less
