Stability analysis of a natural circulation lead-cooled fast reactor
… stability analysis of a natural circulation lead cooled fast reactor design. The stability concerns arise from the fact that natural circulation operation makes the system susceptible to flow instabilities similar to those observed in boiling water reactors. In order to capture the regional …

Optimization of actinide transmutation in innovative lead-cooled fast reactors
… investigates the potential of fertile free fast lead-cooled modular reactors as efficient incinerators of plutonium and minor actinides (MAs) for application to dedicated fuel cycles for transmutation. A methodology is developed that assesses the actinide incineration performance of several …

Thermal hydraulic design and analysis of a large lead-cooled reactor with flexible conversion ratio
… of fast flexible conversion ratio reactors using lead and liquid salt coolants and compare the results with the gas cooled fast reactor developed in an MIT NERI project and the sodium cooled reactor under development at ANL. This thesis is the summary of the design and analysis of the lead-cooled …

Design of passive decay heat removal system for the lead cooled flexible conversion ratio fast reactor
The lead-cooled flexible conversion ratio fast reactor shows many benefits over other fast-reactor designs; however, the higher power rating and denser primary coolant present difficulties for the design of a passive decay heat removal system. In order to achieve passive cooling, enhancements are …

Microreactor for remote Canadian communities
… to remote communities. The reactor has a lead-cooled and graphite-moderated core with 13 vertical fuel channels containing 10 wt% enriched HALEU fuel. The core is enclosed in a non-pressurized reactor vessel and is passively cooled through natural convection. Stirling engines are used to …

Diffusion Barrier Coatings for Liquid Metal Corrosion Resistance in Next-Generation Nuclear Reactors
… metal coolants, and metallic fuel used in Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs) and Lead-Cooled Fast Reactors (LFRs). In SFRs and LFRs, damage to cladding and structural materials from the liquid metal coolant poses large issues for reactor safety and stability. As an approach to this issue, two …
