    Abstract: There is provided a core of a fast reactor capable of achieving a sodium-cooled metal fuel fast reactor with high adaptability to a molten salt heat storage system, by flattening the output distribution and raising the coolant outlet temperature while suppressing deterioration of the core characteristic. A core of a fast factor is a fuel assembly obtained by densely disposing fuel rods within a wrapper tube, the fuel rod storing, within a cladding tube, hollow fuel in which Pu-enrichment is made to be a predetermined value within a range of 11 to 13 wt %. In the core of a fast factor, a first fuel assembly including a fuel rod with a large hollow diameter of the hollow fuel is loaded on the center side of the core, and a second fuel assembly including a fuel rod with a hollow diameter smaller than the hollow diameter of the hollow fuel of the first fuel assembly is loaded on the circumferential side of the core.

    Abstract: A nuclear reactor fuel integrity monitor includes: a γ-ray detector which detects γ-ray of a specific radionuclide of a subject measurement medium of a nuclear reactor; a sample container which retains the subject measurement medium therein and surrounds the circumference of the γ-ray detector; and a measurement control device which performs a control so that a predetermined amount of the subject measurement medium is introduced into the sample container and calculates a concentration of the specific radionuclide from γ-ray data per each unit time detected by the γ-ray detector and a volume of the subject measurement medium introduced into the sample container.

    Abstract: A Single Fluid Reactor with an inner zone that includes a solid neutron moderator, which can have through holes defined therein. This solid neutron moderator can have a relatively small diameter, which can range, in some embodiments, from less than one meter to about 1.5 meter. The solid neutron moderator effectively creates an inner zone with a neutron profile that is far more thermalized than if the solid neutron moderator were absent. The surrounding layer of salt surrounding this inner zone has a much harder neutron spectrum.

    Abstract: A heterogeneous nuclear reactor of the seed-blanket type is provided wher the fissile (seed) and fertile (blanket) nuclear fuels are segregated axially within each fuel element such that fissile and fertile regions occur in an alternating pattern along the length of the fuel element. Further, different axial stacking patterns are used for the fuel elements of at least two module types such that when modules of different types are positioned adjacent to one another, the fertile regions of the modules are offset or staggered. Thus, when a module of one type is surrounded by modules of the second type the fertile regions thereof will be surrounded on all sides by fissile material. This provides enhanced neutron communication both radially and axially, thereby resulting in greater power oscillation stability than other axial arrangements. The arrangements of the fissile and fertile regions in an alternating axial manner minimizes the radial power peaking factors and provides a more optional thermal-hydraulic design than is afforded by radial arrangements.
