Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) Risk and Safety Assessment White Paper - Rev. 8 - 2014
A report by the GIF Risk and Safety Working Group (RSWG).
This paper presents the application of the Integrated Safety Assessment Methodology (ISAM), developed by the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) Risk and Safety Working Group (RSWG), to the Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor (LFR). In this effort, the LFR-provisional System Steering Committee (pSSC) determined that the information available on the reference systems for GIF activities was not sufficient for an accurate and complete application of the ISAM. As a consequence, the LFR-pSSC decided to include in the paper, to the extent possible, a summary of the existing common features of the three LFR reference systems (ELFR, BREST, SSTAR), and then present an application of ISAM to the ALFRED demonstrator since, for this system, a consistent set of information has been disclosed and is available for the application. After presenting a short overview of ISAM and a short summary of the three reference LFR systems, the ALFRED design is reported in more detail and then the results of the ISAM application are summarized.
