プラント概念構築として、平成14年度に構築したプラント全体概念(単機出力75万kWeの4モジュール構成)に基づいて、高内部転換型炉心、直管2重管蒸気発生器、EVST方式燃料取扱設備を採用した機器設計を行い、プラント全体概念を具体化した。概念の構築にあたっては、Na弱点克服のための方策検討、軽水炉並のISI&Rの検討も実施した。更に、成立性評価として、構築した中型モジュール炉に対して、主要な事象の安全評価を実施するとともに、構造健全性及び熱流動に関する主要な課題、特に、直管2重管SG及びPRACSを内蔵するIHX上部プレナムの製作性、構造健全性等の評価を行い、中型モジュール炉概念の成立性見通しを得た。また、フェーズIIの中間評価を行うため、経済性評価、開発目標に対する達成度等を評価し、中間とりまとめに必要なデータを作成した。

Based on the concept of a plant consisting of four modules with a capacity of 750 MWe each, which has been established by the end of FY2002, a concept of the entire plant was proposed, reflecting the modifications related to the high internal conversion type core, the double-wall straight tube steam generator (SG), and the fuel storage system. Concept studies were also performed to overcome the drawbacks of the sodium and to achieve in-service inspection and repair as easily as in light water reactor. Furthermore, feasibility studies were carried out to confirm the design, which included safety, thermal-hydraulics and the structures of the primary reactor auxiliary cooling system and the double-wall straight tube SG. A prospect for realization of this plant concept has been obtained through the evaluation results. In addition, as the interim evaluation of the candidate concepts of the FBR fuel cycle is to be conducted, cost effectiveness and achievability for the development goal were evaluated and the data of the three medium-scale reactor candidate concepts were prepared.
