Preliminary evaluation of ALFRED revised concept under station blackout
The Advanced Lead Fast Reactor European Demonstrator (ALFRED) was conceived in the framework of the LEADER (Lead-cooled European Advanced DEmonstration Reactor) project since 2010. Recently, a revised concept of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is ongoing to solve some identified issues such as thermal stratification and others. To verify the improvements of the ALFRED design the authors developed a detailed nodalization scheme of the reactor using RELAP5-3D© code.
