Abstract During a Core Disruptive Accident (CDA) in a Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR),
debris beds may form in the lower plenum of the reactor vessel as a result of the …

It is crucial to understand the Debris Bed Formation (DBF) behavior for the improved
assessment of Core Disruptive Accident (CDA) of Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFR). To …

Abstract Sodium cooled Fast Reactors (SFR) are built with several engineered safety
features and hence a severe accident such as a core melt accident is hypothetical with a …

The whole core meltdown scenario in sodium cooled fast reactors is considered under
design extension criteria and has a very low probability of occurrence. To mitigate such a …

Within the framework of the severe accident mitigation strategy for GEN-IV reactors, the
behaviour of molten corium in the SFR core catcher is a subject of significant interest. This …

A sequence of highly unlikely events leading to significant meltdown of the Sodium cooled
Fast Reactor (SFR) core can cause the failure of reactor vessel if the molten fuel debris …

Pool type sodium cooled fast reactors pose several design challenges and among them,
certain thermal hydraulics and structural mechanics issues are special. High frequency …
