Irradiation behavior and performance models were investigated in order to apply for nitride fuel options in feasibility study on fast breeder reactor and related recycle systems. (1)MechanicaI design of nitride fuel pin: The behaviors of fission gas release (increase of internal Pressure) and fuel-to-cladding chemical interaction (decrease of cladding thickness) are needed to evaluate cumulative damage fraction in case of fuel pin mechanical design. The behaviors of fission gas release and fuel-to-cladding chemical interaction were investigated from the past studies up to high burnuP, since the lower fission gas release in nitride fuel than in oxide fuel could contribute to reduce the plenum volume and result in the shortening of fuel Pin length. (2)Fuel pin smear density: The higher fuel smear density is preferred for the higher fissile density to improve the core characteristic. The behaviors of fuel pellet swelling were investigated from the past studies up to higher burnup, since the larger fuel pellet swelling in nitride fuel than in oxide fuel would restrict high burunp capability due to fuel-cladding mechanical interaction. (3)Compatibility of nitride fuel with high Temperature water: Compatibility of nitride fuel with high temperature water were investigated from the past studies to contribute water cooled fast breeder reactor options.

A conceptual design study on a 1300MWe large FBR plant was performed with focusing on enhancing passive safety and capital cost reduction. Spectrum-adjusted mixed nitride fueled core in which zirconium hydride was added, was applied to enlarge Doppler reactivity coefficient. Breeding ratio of 1.2 was obtained only with one layer of radial blanket subassemblies by optimizing the content of the zirconium hydride. The optimization also lightened the burden to the reactor structure through the reduction of the core diameter. Reactor passive shutdown were performed in the ATWS events of ULOF and ULOHS, and UTOP caused by one control rod full runout was endurable under the criterion of the prevention of coolant boiling. The safety feature can be called as inherent safety, because the feature comes only from the reactivity characteristics of the core. The integrities of the reactor structures which characterize head-access loop type reactor were evaluated on the transient thermal stress at the loss of flow accident and on seismic strain. Vertical strain of core support plate at loss of flow condition was also evaluated on the passive shutdown at ULOF. The capital cost of the large FBR plant was estimated 1.3 to 1.4 times as high as that of the same scale LWR based on the weight of major components.

Core physics was studied on the High Temperature Fast Reactor (HTFR) whose prime objective is to produce hydrogen. Core of HTFR consits of nitride or oxide fuel, and thermal power of a commercial HTFR is assumed to be 300 to 400 MWt. The analysis in this report aims at the core design having negative or small positive void reactivity from view point to attain safety if the reactors, The method of decreasing sodium void reactivity coefficient was to increase neutron leakage through the large surface area of the core by adopting its shape of a pan cake (core height/core diameter=1/2 to 1/3). Result of the analysis revealed that, total void coefficients is negative for all cases analyzed with U fuel. However almost all the cases analyzed had positive void reactivity coefficients for MOX fuel. Burn-up calculation was peformed for U fuel core. Calculational results showed that the excess reactivity of about 5% was necessary to compensate reactivity decrease due to the burn-up during a year. The above calculations were performed using the CITATION code.
