Evaluation of molten fuel containment concepts for gas-cooled fast breeder reactors

Evaluation of molten fuel containment concepts for gas-cooled fast breeder reactors [electronic resource]

Four in-vessel molten fuel containment concepts for the GCFR were compared, namely, (1) a ceramic crucible, (2) a borax bath, (3) a heavy metal bath, and (4) a steel bath. The ceramic crucible is the simplest but depends on substantial upward heat removal. The borax bath and the heavy metal bath con...
