Status of the astrid sodium fast reactor project from conceptualdesign to basic design phase
Résumé
The ASTRID project is pursuing its progress and has reached at the end of 2015 the Conceptual Design phasefollowed by the starting of the Basic Design phase from 2016 to 2019.The transition from the Conceptual Design phase (2010-2015) to the Basic Design phase (2016-2019) was validated by theproduction of the Conceptual Design files. According to the production of this report, at the end of the Conceptual Designphase (December 2015), the French ministries representatives agreed to launch the Basic Design Phase due to the goodprogression of the program all the milestones have been met during the Conceptual Design phase, and relevant innovationshave been proposed in order to propose a technological demonstration reactor that could fulfilled Generation IV objectives.For the Basic Design phase, the ASTRID project has consolidated its industrial partnership with fourteen industrial partnersespecially strengthened with JAEA / MHI MFBR.The Basic Design phase started with a particular step named Confirmation Configuration Phase (P2C) where during the firstnine months of the 2016 year, the project - with all partners has- re-analyzed several structural options regarding three main drivers safety, operability and cost killing,- implemented the Gas (Nitrogen) Energy Conversion system within the plant design,- and built a coherent reactor layout shared by all partners as a starting point of a new ASTRID configuration forthe Basic Design phase.Therefore, this papers aims at presenting the recent progress of the ASTRID project either in terms of project managementand organization, than in terms of technological progress in reactor design and support studies.
