Uncertainties for the Kalimer Sodium Fast Reactor: Void Reactivity Coefficient,keff, βeff, Depletion and Radiotoxicity

The Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (sfr)

The Sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) features a closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium and management of minor actinides. A full actinide-recycle fuel cycle is envisioned with two major options: One involves intermediatesized (150 to 500 MWe) sodium-cooled fast reactors with uranium-plutonium-minor-actinidezirconium metal alloy fuel, supported by a fuel cycle based on pyr...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Shape Optimization of a Sodium Fast Reactor Core

Résumé. On applique dans cet article une méthode d'optimisation géométrique dans le cadre de la conception d'un c÷ur de réacteur SFR dans le but de minimiser une contre réaction thermique connue sous le nom d'e et de vidange sodium. Lorsqu'une augmentation de température survient, ce type de réacteur peut être sujet à une forte augmentation de réactivité, un paramètre clé dans le contrôle de la...

Sodium fast reactor power monitoring using F tagging agent

This work deals with the use of gamma spectrometry to monitor the fourth generation of sodium fast reactor (SFR) power. Simulation part has shown that power monitoring in short response time and with good accuracy is possible measuring liquid sodium delayed gamma emitters produced in-core. An experimental test is under preparation at French SFR Phénix experimental reactor to validate simulation...
