Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (lfr): Overview and Perspectives
he GIF Technology Roadmap [1] identified the Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) as a technology with great potential to meet the small-unit electricity needs of remote sites while also offering advantages as a large system for grid-connected power stations. The LFR features a fast-neutron spectrum and a closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium. It can also be used as a burner o...
متن کاملLead Pressure Loss in the Heat Exchanger of the Elsy Fast Lead- Cooled Reactor by Cfd Approach
The present paper discusses the pressure loss through the spiral heat exchanger (HX) proposed in the ELSY (European-Lead cooled SYstem) project. An approach based on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) using the commercial code ANSYS CFX has been used for exploring the flow through the HX. The HX consists of perforated double inner and double outer walls, as well as an innovative spiral design o...
متن کاملThe Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (sfr)
The Sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) features a closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium and management of minor actinides. A full actinide-recycle fuel cycle is envisioned with two major options: One involves intermediatesized (150 to 500 MWe) sodium-cooled fast reactors with uranium-plutonium-minor-actinidezirconium metal alloy fuel, supported by a fuel cycle based on pyr...
متن کاملA Particle-bed Gas-cooled Fast Reactor Core Design for Waste Minimisation
The issue of waste minimisation in advanced reactor systems has been investigated using the Particle-Bed Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (PB-GCFR) design being developed and funded under the U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (USDOE NERI) Programme. Results indicate that for the given core power density and constraint on the maximum TRU enrichment allowable, the lowest amount ...
متن کاملCore Design and Deployment Strategy of Heavy Water Cooled Sustainable Thorium Reactor
Our previous studies on water cooled thorium breeder reactor based on matured pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant technology concluded that reduced moderated core by arranging fuel pins in a triangular tight lattice array and using heavy water as coolant is appropriate for achieving better breeding performance and higher burn-up simultaneously [1–6]. One optimum core that produces 3.5 GW ther...
