Zusammenfassung:The design proposed is a compact fast reactor with sodium loop circuits and an auxiliary system for reactor vessel cooling. Each loop includes main piping with freezing valve and fast response stop device, a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pump and a shell-type steam generator in which heat exchanging panels with activated sodium are separated from steam generating panels by an intermediate cavity. A forced helium circulation is effected in the cavity during reactor operation assuring necessary levels of safety. (Original abstract - amended)
