Abstract
The analysis and new scientific and technical solutions corresponding to the evolutionary development
of low and medium power reactor plants with heavy liquid metal coolants are presented.
The analysis was carried out on the basis of experience in the creation and operation of reactor
installation with lead-bismuth coolant and research, primarily experimental, performed at the Nizhny
Novgorod State Technical University (NSTU) in rationale of the small and medium-sized power
plants developed at NNSTU reactor installation with horizontal steam generators (BRS-GPG).
The paper substantiates the choice of coolant. With the proposed arrangement of the reactor
loop, the maximum possible natural circulation is achieved, which significantly increases the safety of
reactor installation. The results of studies (simulations) of one of the most potentially dangerous accidents
in reactor installation with HLMC – "large steam generator leak" can qualitatively reduce
the consequences of the accident when using the design of a horizontal steam generator in which the
pipe system is placed with minimal burial of pipes under the level of HLMC, which eliminates the
flow of water into the reactor core, re-pressurization of the reactor circuit, etc. It is probably advisable
to consider the characteristics of the core, analog ary accepted for SVBR or BREST-OD-300. A
system is proposed for cooling the reactor and providing the reactor installation shutdown modes, its
characteristics are studied and tested at the NSTU stands.
Keywords
fast neutron reactor, heavy liquid metal coolant, BRS-GPG, steam generator, natural circulation, core.
