FAST (floating absorber for safety at transient) for the improved safety of sodium-cooled burner fast reactors

This paper presents floating absorber for safety at transient (FAST) which is a passive safety device for sodium-cooled fast reactors with a positive coolant temperature coefficient. Working principle of the FAST makes it possible to insert negative reactivity passively in case of temperature rise o...
