GALLIUM-COOLED LIQUID METALLIC-FUELED FAST REACTOR

摘要

We have examined the effects on core characteristics of using two different types of Pu-based metallic alloy fuels in the gallium-cooled fast reactor core. In the proposed concept, the liquid metal fast nuclear reactor uses metallic fuel in the liquid phase and gallium coolant at high temperature (inlet 1700K. Outlet 1900K). The liquid fuel is continuously supplied to the reactor during operation at full Reactor power. The reactor power is controlled by rotational control drums with Absorber material.
