Abstract
The important role of Sodium Cooled Fast Reactors (SFR) in ensuring sustainable supply of electricity over the long periods and SFR programme in India are highlighted. The salient features of SFRs and challenges in the design technology are addressed in this paper. The current status of 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR), which is under construction at Kalpakkam is presented. Engineering of a few critical SFR components, which perform multiple functions are described. To illustrate a typical application of advanced numerical simulations, testing and evaluations methods to demonstrate the reliable operation, results of theoretical and experimental investigations carried out for the main vessel, the most critical component in PFBR, are highlighted.
