Power unit with RP BREST-OD-300

Abstract

Pilot demonstration energy complex (PDEC) is designed for elaboration of technology for closure of the nuclear fuel cycle (CNFC) for further implementation of highpower energy complexes in the industrial scale. The project “Construction of the pilot and demonstration power unit with the lead-cooled fast neutron reactor on the site of abandoned territory “Seversk” (BREST-OD-300) is developed in accordance with requirements specification for development and implementation of nuclear power technologies and natural safety based on the fast neutron reactors and closed nuclear fuel cycle. The article describes the power unit with a reactor plant, its design characteristics, the layout of the primary circuit equipment, as well as special attention is paid to safety systems, nuclear and radiation safety and regulatory compliance in support of the safe operation of the reactor plant.
