Conference Article: Liquid metal-cooled fast reactor B-350 as a heat source for seawater desalination and electricity production
Levitin, V.L. (Mangushlak Energy Group of Enterprises (Kazakhstan))Abstract
The BN-350 nuclear power plant has been used for seawater desalination and electricity production for 23 years, the longest of any commercial liquid metal fast reactor (LMFR). During that time much has been learned about successful LMFR operation and design. The present paper describes some important design features of the BN-350 NPP and presents some performance results from the whole operational period.
