Track 2. Fast Reactor Operation and Decommissioning

ORAL

Following Superphenix definitive shutdown announcement in 1997, enacted by a decree in late 1998, it was rapidly decided to start the reactor dismantling, for technical reasons (keeping in liquid form large amounts of sodium) and human resources availability. Out of the 19 sodium fast reactors having been operated worldwide, 13 are dismantled or being dismantled. So there is already a...

Track 2. Fast Reactor Operation and Decommissioning

ORAL

Sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR) have been selected by the Generation IV International Forum, thanks to their capability of reducing nuclear waste and saving nuclear energy resources by burning actinides. With reactors such as RAPSODIE, PHENIX and SUPER PHENIX, France gained a 50 year experience in designing, building and operating SFR: since 2006 the CEA leads the development of an...

386. ARRANGEMENT OF THE BN-600 REACTOR CORE REFUELING AT TRANSITION TO THE INCREASED FUEL BURN-UP

Track 2. Fast Reactor Operation and Decommissioning

ORAL

The further fuel burn-up increase in the BN-600 reactor is believed to be connected with transition to a new more radiation-resistant construction material of fuel rod claddings that is steel EK164-ID c.d. The core is planned to be switched to the increased fuel life time of 752 eff. days with the fivefold refueling scheme of base FSA quantity. To switch the reactor operation mode...

Track 2. Fast Reactor Operation and Decommissioning

ORAL

Since 2002 Research Reactor BR-10 (BR-10) has a status of the decommissioning. Currently, BR-10 is implemented in transition period between final shutdown and decommissioning. These works are connecting with bringing of BR-10 in nuclear-safety and radiation-safety condition. In accordance with the Programme of decommissioning of BR-10, before dismantling of equipment and systems of reactor,...
