22 CORE DESIGN OBJECTIVES Natural behavior favorable for transients of unprotected loss of flow and loss of heat sink Target criteria : no sodium boiling for a ULOSSP transient Sodium void effect minimized Target criteria : Na void effect < 0 Natural behavior favorable for a complete control rod withdrawal (with no detection) Target criteria : no fuel melt Improved performances Target criteria : Cycle length 480 efpd, High fuel burnup, and breeding gain 0 Core design extrapolable to higher power CEA OCTOBER 2012 PAGE 22
23 CORE DESIGN APPROACH ASTRID core design is mainly guided by safety objectives: 1. Prevention of the core meltdown accident by a natural behavior of the core and the reactor (as 3rd line of defense in case of no actuation of the two shutdown systems) Natural behavior favorable for transients of unprotected loss of flow and loss of heat sink Target criteria : no sodium boiling for a ULOSSP transient for CFV type core (CFV = Low Na void worth core) Sodium void effect minimized Target criteria : Na void effect < 0 for CFV type core Natural behavior favorable for a complete control rod withdrawal (with no detection) Target criteria : no fuel fusion by adding passive complementary systems if natural behavior is not sufficient for some transient cases 2. Mitigation of the core meltdown Absorbing protection Upper inner fissile zone Inner fertile zone Lower inner fissile zone Fertile blanket Sodium plenum zone Outer fissile zone Neutronic protection To garantee that core meltdown accidents don t lead to significant mechanical energy release, whatever initiator event by a favorable natural core behavior (negative sodium void worth for CFV type core) by adding specific mitigation dispositions in case of natural behavior is not sufficient CEA OCTOBER 2012 PAGE 23
24 ISSUES TO BE INVESTIGATED BY EXPERIMENTS Measures for In-Vessel-Retention (IVR) have priority but 3 options are open Internal core-catcher Core-catcher between 2 vessels External core-catcher Design studies for ASTRID aim at preventing the risk of core melting. However according to the WENRA 2010 «Safety Objectives for New Nuclear Power Plants», 4th level of in depth prevention request that this accident will be taken into account in the design process.
