Conference Article: Fast reactor research activities in Switzerland

Brogli, R. (Paul Scherrer Inst. (PSI), Villigen (Switzerland))

Abstract

The small Swiss research program on fast reactors serves to further the understanding of the reactor physics and thermohydraulic phenomena in fast reactors. These activities are on the one hand a small contribution to the technology and bring on the other to our engineers the functional under-standing of the fast reactor. suing an effort in computational reactor physics to help to reduce the calculational uncertainties for reactivity effects an by making experiments and analysis on the mixing-phenomena related to the decay heat removal in the natural circulation mode.
