1. Determining the Sensitivity of Reactor Parameters in a Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : 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. 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 kärnfysikAbstract : 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

4. TRACE Analysis for Transient Thermal-hydraulics of A Heavy Liquid Metal Cooled System
University essay from KTH/KärnkraftssäkerhetAbstract : Heavy liquid metal (HLM - lead or lead bismuth eutectic) is considered as a candidate coolant for next-generation fast reactor and accelerate-driven systems (ADS), due to its favorable chemical, thermo-physical and neutronic properties in comparison with sodium which has been used as coolant in fast breeder reactors (FBRs). To perform design-base-accident analysis for the HLM-cooled reactors, the well-known transient thermal-hydraulic analysis codes (e. READ MORE

5. Simulation of Reactor Transient and Design Criteria of Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors
University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : 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
