AbstractAbstract
[en] U.S. SFR Safety Experience: • The US reactor development program has demonstrated that liquid sodium metal cooling in an SFR contributes to excellent safety performance: – Excellent heat removal and heat transport characteristics; – Natural circulation decay heat removal; – Passive reactor power reduction in beyond-design-basis accidents. • Core melting accidents have shown that safe shutdown of an SFR is possible without severe consequences: – Metallic fuel is compatible with liquid sodium; – Accident progression can be safely terminated; • Reactors were refueled and operated after the accidents. • ANS has started development of ANS Standard 54.1, “Nuclear Safety Criteria and Design Process for SodiumCooled Reactor Nuclear Power Plants”: – An update and revision of the ANS 54.1 Standard.
