Improved FAST Device for Inherent Safety of Oxide-Fueled Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors

The floating absorber for safety at transient (FAST) was proposed as a solution for the positive coolant temperature coefficient in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). It is designed to insert negative reactivity in the case of coolant temperature rise or coolant voiding in an inherently passive way...
