Abstract

This paper discusses requirement and necessity for elimination of recriticality issue in hypothetical core disruptive accident in future fast reactors, and also necessity of a new comprehensive approach of safety research to achieve this objective. A theoretical investigation of the initiating phase consequences in an unprotected loss-of-flow accidents is shown as an example. A generalized model for core behavior is developed in order to clarify a requirement for mechanism to introduce a negative reactivity (controlled material relocation concept) aiming at elimination of recriticality.
