Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The suggested Collaborative Project (CP) addresses key viability and performance issues to support the development of a fourth generation European Sodium Fast Reactor (ESFR). This innovative system is mainly developed for competitive electricity generation and offer interesting potential characteristics in terms of safety, environmental impact, resource utilisation and waste minimisation (e.g. potential for Minor Actinides management). The objectives of the CP-ESFR look for the improvement, vis-à-vis of current nuclear systems, of the safety level, the guarantee of a financial risk comparable to that of the other means of energy production and a flexible and robust management of the nuclear materials. The corresponding technical requirements in terms of System’s performance; Operation, maintenance and procedures; Safety design & analysis and licensing issues; Physical protection &Proliferation resistance; Functional requirements for provisions; Fuel cycle Constructability; Decommisioning; System’s economy are based – among others - upon the results of the 6th FP Specific Support Action EISOFAR (Roadmap for a European Innovative SOdium cooled FAst Reactor). The schedule for this four years project fit with the principle for an industrial deployment of ESFR technology around 2040 with the preliminary deployment of a demonstrator by 2020-2025. Following the requirements above, and considering the context as it is described, the Collaborative Project is tentatively structured into six main technical sub projects (SPs): 1)Consistency and assessment & international relationships 2)Fuel, fuel element, core & fuel cycle 3)Safety and Security 4)Energy Conversion System Components & materials 5)Reactor system (including handling) 6)Education & training A specific Management activity will insure the whole consistency.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Six novel nuclear reactor designs are scheduled for commercial introduction around 2030 to 2040. A large EU-funded consortium has optimised the design for one of these under an umbrella of safety, cost effectiveness and sustainability.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Nuclear energy has life-cycle carbon emissions similar to wind and geothermal power, and eliminates the geopolitical influences negatively affecting reliability and cost. The EU nuclear community and its Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) have established a roadmap for development where sodium fast reactor (SFR) technology plays a key role. A European sodium fast reactor (ESFR) is slated for deployment around 2040, with a demonstrator operating sometime between 2020 and 2025.
The EU-funded 'Collaborative Project on European sodium fast reactor' (http://www.cp-esfr.eu/ (CP-ESFR)) organised and conducted an important part of the research and development effort identified in the roadmap. Work covered the technical aspects involved in optimising the reactor architecture, and the fuels and fuel cycles. The technical work fell under an umbrella of improved safety, decreased financial risk, and effective management of nuclear materials to minimise environmental impact and proliferation.
Scientists addressed all issues laid out in the original project proposal and, along the way, made a major contribution to bringing European expertise on SFRs up to date. Identification of a new core design promises enhanced safety and capabilities for transmutation. The latter is a key pillar of modern nuclear energy programmes. Long-term sources of radioactivity are converted into stable or short-lived (less than 30 years) materials, reducing hazards to people and the environment.
The team delivered approximately 100 reports highlighting core and reactor designs, main reactor components and fluids, and safety solutions. The current state of the art in terms of codes and standards was also addressed to ensure that development work responded to the present or anticipated future regulatory framework.
CP-ESFR has made an important contribution to the EU's SNETP with an ESFR that takes into account the EU technology landscape and specificities. Emphasis on safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness should lead to a socially acceptable European version and widespread support of this sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuel combustion.
