The fast reactor (FR) is a type of new reactor currently under research and development. In addition to the high level of safety required by nuclear power plants, creativity is also required when designing an FR system to ensure reliability and economy. FR research first began some 60 years ago, and the principles have largely been established. The path forward requires the development of a commercial system that integrates the experience and engineering know-how gained thus far.
While many conventional textbooks on FRs introduce the general principles and elemental technologies of FRs, discussion of design is limited mainly to the reactor core.
The aim of this book is to instill in young researchers and engineers of tomorrow who will be charged with commercializing this new type of reactor the ability to come up with creative designs that lead to the development of new components and systems for improved plant reliability and economy. Toward this end, this volume describes the methods of integrating the power plant in its entirety — from the reactor core to all of the various systems and components — and teaches the thinking that forms the background of these methods. This background includes the various organizational and management issues that are encountered as projects move forward and will be explored in great detail based on actual design and construction experience with Japan’s prototype FR, Monju
