This paper presents two novel passive safety devices for Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFR): SAFE (Static Absorber Feedback Equipment) and FAST (Floating Absorber for Safety at Transient) to deal with the positive coolant void reactivity (CVR) and coolant temperature coefficient (CTC). It is well-known that the positive CVR and CTC limit the maximum performance of a SFR. Especially, CVR and CTC...

Track 3. Fast Reactor Safety
ORAL
In the last years an international effort has been pursued for the development of the Advanced Lead Fast Reactor European Demonstrator (ALFRED), whose design was initially conceived in the EURATOM FP7 LEADER project and now is being carried on by the FALCON International Consortium signed by Italian, Romanian and Czech organizations. In line with the vision of the Gen-IV initiative, the LFR...

Maximum reactivity margin describes the scale of potential nuclear danger of reactor unit at its release and the scale of measures that must be taken to compensate by control and safety systems, to minimize the probability of such accidents and to limit the consequences. “PRORYV” project not only sets the goal of minimizing consequences but also eliminating the root cause of reactivity...
