The Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) is sodium cooled, loop type fast reactor commissioned in the year 1985. It is a research reactor with an evolving core with a unique Pu/U carbide fuel. The reactor has continued to provide valuable experience to improve its performance figure year after year. FBTR has been operated at different power level up to 27.3MWt/5.8MWe over the last thirty years,...

Basic principles of maintenance management for prototype reactors are proposed in this paper. One of main missions of prototype reactors is R&D for commercializing advanced reactors, which shall be appropriately considered in maintenance management for prototype reactors. Development of maintenance programs suitable to a reactor type is one of key features of the proposed basic principles of...

Abstract: The purposes of Instrumentation and Control systems are to assist the operator in controlling the plant at the specified power level, monitor the plant and warn of deviations from normal conditions, prevent accidents by carrying out independent automatic safety and control actions, and mitigate consequences of an accident automatically. Design of I&C for PFBR is done in...
