EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE SHUTDOWN-SYSTEMS CONCEPTSnFOR THE GAS-COOLED FAST BREEDER REACTOR

摘要

Several existing breeder and thermal reactor shutdown systems, such as those for the LMFBR and HTGR and some new variations, were reviewed and evaluated for potential application to the Gas-Cooled Fast Breeder Reactor (GCFR), with diversity from the GCFR reference control-rod drive system and reliability as the main objectives.
