    Abstract: A nuclear island includes a nuclear reactor, a lateral seismic restraint, and an in-vessel reactor core retention cooling system. The lateral seismic restraint includes a vertically oriented pin attached to one of the bottom of the lower vessel head and the floor underneath the nuclear reactor, and a mating pin socket is attached to the other of the bottom of the lower vessel head and the floor. The in-vessel reactor core retention cooling system includes one or more baffles, optionally thermally insulating material, disposed alongside the exterior surface of a lower portion of the reactor pressure vessel including at least the lower vessel head. A plenum is defined between the one or more baffles and the exterior surface of a lower portion of the reactor pressure vessel. The one or more baffles may define a lower plenum inlet surrounding the lateral seismic restraint.

    Abstract: La présente invention concerne une configuration de cœur de réacteur à neutrons rapides, refroidi par un métal liquide. Le cœur comporte un ensemble d'éléments combustibles comprenant un matériau fertile et/ou un matériau fissile, l'ensemble de tels éléments combustibles étant agencé selon une forme générale de cylindre. Au sens de l'invention, un premier ensemble d'éléments combustibles (Cl, C2, C3), disposé selon une couronne en périphérie du cylindre, comporte relativement plus de matériau fissile qu'un deuxième ensemble d'éléments combustibles (FERT), disposé au centre du cylindre. Un tel agencement permet avantageusement de réduire un effet de vidange du métal liquide et de là, d'améliorer la sécurité du réacteur.

    Abstract: Due to the parasitic absorption of neutrons on fission debris, in VVER-, BWR-, and PWR-type nuclear reactors, fuel is nowadays removed from the reactor, although the fuel still contains some usable material. This material is further utilized with the release of energy in the device described in the invention. In the device for recovery of energy from spent fuel of nuclear reactors, already irradiated fuel assemblies are used in other geometries, using different physical parameters and materials than in the original reactors. In particular, the fuel is operated at maximum fuel temperature lower than in the reactor in which it was originally irradiated, at a temperature at least 150 C lower than in the case of fuel from a VVER reactor, 160 C lower than in the case of fuel from a BWR reactor, and 140 C lower than in the case of fuel from a PWR reactor. The moderator in this device has lower absorption in the fuel than in the reactor in which it was originally irradiated, at least 5% lower in the case of fuel from a VVER reactor, at least 5% lower in the case of fuel from a BWR reactor, and at least 7% lower in the case of spent fuel of a PWR reactor. The coolant of the device for recovery of energy from spent fuel of VVER nuclear reactors is at a pressure lower than 12 MPa, in the case of spent fuel of BWR reactors, it is at a pressure lower than 6.5 MPa, and in the case of spent fuel of PWR reactors, it is at a pressure lower than 15 MPa. The spacing between the centers of some of the fuel assemblies of the device for recovery of energy from spent fuel of nuclear reactors is larger than in the reactor in which the fuel was originally irradiated, 3 mm larger in the case of fuel from a VVER reactor, 2 mm larger in the case of fuel from a BWR reactor, and 3 mm larger in the case of fuel from a PWR reactor. The device for recovery of energy from spent fuel of nuclear reactors is primarily designed for the heating industry and can be used also with non-irradiated fuel.

    Abstract: Passive reactivity control technologies that enable reactivity control of a nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) system with little to no active mechanical movement of circumferential control drums. By minimizing or eliminating the need for mechanical movement of the circumferential control drums during an NTP burn, the reactivity control technologies simplify controlling an NTP reactor and increase the overall performance of the NTP system. The reactivity control technologies mitigate and counteract the effects of xenon, the dominant fission product contributing to reactivity transients. Examples of reactivity control technologies include, employing burnable neutron poisons, tuning hydrogen pressure, adjusting wait time between burn cycles or merging burn cycles, and enhancement of temperature feedback mechanisms. The reactivity control technologies are applicable to low-enriched uranium NTP systems, including graphite composite fueled and tungsten ceramic and metal matrix (CERMET), or any moderated NTP system, such as highly- enriched uranium graphite composite NTP systems.
