Preliminary neutron kinetic. Thermal hydraulic coupled analysis of the ALFRED reactor using PHISICS/RELAP5-3D
The development of a lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) demonstrator was proposed, mainly in EU, to investigate the feasibility of an industrial size ELFR (European Lead-cooled Fast Reactor). The demonstrator, called ALFRED (Advanced Lead-cooled Fast Reactor European Demonstrator), consists of a pool-type lead-cooled fast reactor, with a nominal thermal power of 300 MWt.
