Abstract

During the last decade a number of design studies on gas cooled fast reactors have been made. They are similar in physics but fundamentally different in design and layout. These differences and their advantages and drawbacks are discussed. So far no single design that combines all the advantages seems possible. Most important is a passive core catcher below the core. Other desirable features include: provision for complete removal of all core components, downward coolant flow, no contact of hot coolant with vessel liner and replaceable pumps and heat exchangers.
