GEN-Ⅳ REACTOR SYSTEMS CRITERIA IMPLEMENTATION IN BN-1200

摘要

The design of the BN-1200 sodium-cooled fast reactor is analyzed from the standpoint of its compliance with the criteria fitting the promising Gen-IV reactor facilities. The basic technical solutions adopted in the BN-1200 design making it possible to meet the requirements of consistent development of non-proliferation and safety, cost-effectiveness, and physical protection are described. The BN-1200 concept is evaluated on the basis of 26 criteria developed as part of the Generation IV international forum for the Gen-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor. The compliance of the safety requirements used in the development of the BN-1200 design with the design criteria for the Gen-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor developed as part of the Generation IV international forum is analyzed.
