来る11月27, 28日に仏国エクサンプロヴァンスにおいて「第1回仏国トピカルセミナー冷却材と次世代型原子炉技術」が開催される。これに伴い、高速炉の冷却材として活用されているナトリウムについて、その利点と欠点の観点からナトリウムの性質や不純物による腐食,取扱安全等について本セミナーにおいて発表を行う。

With the aim of enhancement personnel development of nuclear engineers, the Cadarache Research Center, CEA and the INITC, JAEA agreed to dedicate mutually the educational topical seminar on the theme of "Coolants and Innovative Reactor Technologies" in cooperation. In response, INITC held the "Tsuruga Summer Institutes on Nuclear Energy 2006" by cosponsorship with the Wakasa-wan Energy Research Centre in Sep. 11 to 15 at Tsuruga. While, Cadarache Research Center will conduct the 1st International Topical Seminar "Coolants and Innovative Reactor Technologies" in this Nov. 27, 28 at Aix en Provance, France. And JAEA takes charge of two lectures, i.e. "Developments of Sodium Fast Reactors in Japan" and "Sodium Properties, Impurities and Safety". This presentation is related to the later and sodium properties, corrosion by impurities and safety handling, etc., are mentioned from the aspects of the advantage and disadvantage of sodium.
