1. 1. Determining the Sensitivity of Reactor Parameters in a Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Alexander Palfelt; Wilhelm Thunberg; Anders Winka; [2020]
   Keywords : serpent; SFR; sodium cooled fast reactor; generation 4;

   Abstract : The sensitivity of two operational output parameters, criticality and isotopic composition during burnup, to specific design and operational reactor parameters in a Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor, is investigated. The computational simulation tool Serpent is used. READ MORE

3. 2. Load following with a passive reactor core using the SPARC design

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Sebastian Svanström; [2016]
   Keywords : Nuclear physics; fast reactors; load following; metal cooled fast reactor; SFR; sodium cooled fast reactor; NPP; SPARC; ARC; battery core;

   Abstract : This thesis is a follow up on "SPARC fast reactor design: Design of two passively metal-fuelled sodium-cooled pool-type small modular fast reactors with Autonomous Reactivity Control" by Tobias Lindström (2015). In this thesis the two reactors designed by Lindström in said thesis were evaluated. READ MORE

4. 3. SPARC fast reactor design : Design of two passively safe metal-fuelled sodium-cooled pool-type small modular fast reactors with Autonomous Reactivity Control

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Tobias Lindström; [2015]
   Keywords : Fast Reactor; Reactor Design; Passive; ARC; Autonomous Reactivity Control; SPARC; Safe and Passive with Autonomous Reactivity Control; Generation IV; Sodium; Pool-type; Metal-fuel; Reactivity Sustaining;

   Abstract : In this master thesis a small modular sodium-cooled metal-fuelled pool-type fast reactor design, called SPARC - Safe and Passive with Autonomous Reactivity control, has been designed. The long term reactivity changes in the SPARC are managed by implementation of the the Autonomous Reactivity Control (ARC) system, which is the novelty of the design. READ MORE

5. 4. Simulation of Reactor Transient and Design Criteria of Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors

   University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Filip Gottfridsson; [2010]
   Keywords : SFR; sodium-cooled; fast reactors; reactors; A.U.R.N.; AURN; transient; negative transient; liquid-cooled; Phénix; Phenix; SFRs; core-flowering; core flowering; Serpent;

   Abstract : The need for energy is growing in the world and the market of nuclear power is now once more expanding. Some issues of the current light-water reactors can be solved by the next generation of nuclear power, Generation IV, where sodium-cooled reactors are one of the candidates. READ MORE
