Abstract
Earthquake and Tsunami proof of Japan Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR) has been evaluated. As for seismic design, safety grade components are confirmed to maintain their functions even against recent strong earthquakes. As for Tsunami, in JSFR design, safety grade components are independent from component cooling water system. A gas turbine system with air cooling is adopted for emergency power supply, since JSFR does not basically require quick start-up of the emergency power supply thanks to the natural convection Decay Heat Removal System (DHRS). Even in case of long station blackout, the DHRS could be activated by emergency batteries or manually and be operated continuously by natural convection.
