A review of inherent safety characteristics of metal alloy sodium-cooled fast reactor fuel against postulated accidents
The thermal, mechanical, and neutronic performance of the metal alloy fast reactor fuel design complements the safety advantages of the liquid metal cooling and the pool-type primary system. Together, these features provide large safety margins in both normal operating modes and for a wide range of...
