- Summary
- Design-related safety-enhancing features such as (1) extended pump coastdown, (2) increased negative reactivity feedbacks, (3) reduced sodium void reactivity, and (4) self-actuated shutdown systems are evaluated. Primary emphasis is placed on preventing or limiting core damage. Attention is also given to features aimed at mitigation of the energetics potential of hypothetical core-disruptive accidents.
