Abstract
This paper presents the transient behavior during off-normal operation of an unconventional liquid metal reactor design, called the Trench Reactor. Under the postulated accident conditions, this reactor design responds in an inherently safe manner to loss of heat sink accidents, loss of flow accidents, overcooling accidents and transient overpower accidents with 25 cents of reactivity insertion. The characteristics that cause such inherently save behavior are the properties of the materials and the configuration of the reactor primary system, even without any activated safety devices.
