Reference-design, LMFR

The choice of fuel for the first full-.scale IjMFR will depend upon the availability of which is much more attractive tlian becau.se of better neutron economy, and a sufficient quantity for fueling an LMFR may be avail/iblc in 10 to 15 yr. In the early stage.s of this study, however, f - was arbitrarily cho.sen as the fuel for the parametric study. 1 he s< lection of the reference design should be valid for either fuel. [Pg.901]

Economic considerations were essential to the optimization studies required to establish the reference designs pre.sented in Sections 24-2 and 24-4. An important objective of this study is the economic comparison of energy costs for the single-fluid and the two-fluid externally cooled LMFR. A brief summary of energy costs for the optimum design in each concept is presented in Table 24-12. [Pg.920]

The reuse of this sodium for nuclear operation was not possible due to the absence of building of new LMFR in the near future. Thus the transformation of metallic sodium to a non reactive material was decided. To do so, it was decided to use the reference NOAH process that will transform metallic sodium to concentrated sodium hydroxide (10 mol/L). The treatment of primary sodium (3250 tons) and secondary sodium (1500 tons) will produce large amount of sodium hydroxide (19 000 tons) or neutralized salts such as sodium sulphate (25 000 tons). The facility envisaged will be based on the design of the SDP facility (Sodium Disposal Plant) built to treat the primary and secondary sodium of PFR [30, 32]. The estimated treatment flow rate will be 6 metric tons per day. The final destination of this by-product must be clearly defined and authorized by a decree. Two major solutions can be envisaged ... [Pg.174]

In the field of fast reactor design and operational data, the last reference document published by the IAEA was the 1996 Fast Reactor Database (IAEA-TECDOC-866). Since its publication, quite a lot has happened the construction of two new reactors has been laimched, and conceptual/design studies were initiated for various fast reactors, e.g. the Japanese JSFR-1500 and the Russian BN-1800 (both cooled by sodium), as well as for a wholly new line of LMFR concepts — modular reactors cooled by sodium and by lead-bismuth alloy, and prototype and demonstration conunercial size fast reactors cooled by lead. [Pg.467]
