Abstract
More than 40 years of experience in performing research and development work and operation of fast sodium-cooled reactors is analyzed. It is shown that such reactors possess a system of intrinsic safety properties, making possible long-time reliable operation and reducing to a minimum the consequences of an accident. A BN-800 unit under construction with the core switched to nitride fuel can serve as a basis for nuclear technology with intrinsic safety in accordance with the requirements of the strategy for the development of nuclear power in Russia in the first half of the 21st century.
