The in-core behaviors of fast reactor oxide fuel element are highly complicated and coupled due to the overall irradiation, thermal and mechanical effects. The structural integrity of fuel cladding in steady and transient conditions is important for the safe operation of reactors. A computer code FIBER-Oxide is developed to simulate fuel element behavior and further to predict life. First,...

BHAVINI is constructing Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR), forerunner of FBRs, a 500 MWe sodium cooled, pool type, mixed oxide (MOX) fueled reactor at Kalpakkam. Presently PFBR is in the commissioning phase. The reactor assembly consists of large dimensional vessels viz., Safety Vessel, Main Vessel and Inner Vessel made of Austenitic stainless steel. The top shield is a box type structure...

Future FBRs in India with 600MWe capacity are designed with three Primary Sodium Pumps (PSP). As the PSP are operating in parallel, failure of one PSP will result in a significant reverse flow through it, thereby reducing the flow through the core. Minimizing or arresting the reverse flow will in turn increase the flow to the core and the power operation of reactor can be resumed with two...
