Inherent safety evaluation of a long-life fast reactor (SALUS-100) under unprotected loss of heat sink conditions by Junkyu Han, Nam-il Tak, Sun Rock Choi, Hyun-Sik Park, Jonggan Hong, Ji-woong Han, In Sub Jun, Huee-Youl Ye, Jeong Ik Lee

“…The concept adapts the proven technology of the Prototype Generation-IV SFR (PGSFR) to a non-light-water small modular reactor platform. To verify that these inherited technologies still provide the intrinsic sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR) safety features—negative reactivity feedback and passive decay-heat removal via the diverse residual heat-removal system (DRHRS)—an unprotected loss-of-heat-sink (ULOHS) analysis was performed.The transient calculations employed GAMMA+ 2.0, a system code validated against data from JOYO, PFBR, Monju, EBR-II, FFTF and other SFR facilities. …”
