Session 4 Sodium cooled fast reactor knowledge preservation

Session 4 Sodium cooled fast reactor knowledge preservation 

France, Japan and the Russian Federation presented the status on sodium cooled fast reactor experience preservation made in these coimtries. The reports underlined these countries large experience with design, construction and operation of sodium cooled fast reactors. The discussions underlined the importance of the IAEA support for knowledge preservation of fast reactor experience. 

Recognizing the importance of sodium cooled fast reactor knowledge preservation, there is the need to pursue an internationally coordinated activity aiming at the analysis of operational experience with fast reactor equipment and systems, as well as at the generalization of the lessons learned. The objectives of this activity are to  

As a next step, the need to establish an international sodium cooled fast reactor database was put forward. In an ad-hoc working group, the session elaborated the general structure of such a database. Table 1 gives an example of the structure.
