Conference Article: Conceptual design studies on various types of HLMC fast reactor plants

Abstract

To seek for a promising concept of a heavy liquid metal coolant (HLMC) fast reactor plant, Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) and the electric utilities conducted conceptual design studies on various types of plant concepts and compared these concepts based on technical feasibility and economical perspective. Finally, Pb-Bi cooled medium tank type reactor was selected as the most promising concept.
