Abstract

An advanced loop type sodium cooled fast reactor, JSFR, has been investigated in the frame work of Fast Reactor Cycle Technology Development Project (FaCT). As the temperatures difference between the control rod channels and the core fuel subassemblies is around 100 °C, temperature fluctuation due to the fluid mixing at the core outlet may cause high cycle thermal fatigue at the bottom of Upper Internal Structure (UIS). Then, a water experiment was conducted using an 1/3 scale 60 degree sector model. Temperature and its fluctuation intensity distributions around the control rod were measured and an effect of the improved structure against the thermal fatigue was examined.
