Decommissioning Features of BN-350, -600 Fast Reactors

The general features and strategies of decommissioning BN-350 are presented. The features of sodium purification by 137 Cs removal, coolant drainage from the reactor vessel, and transfer of sodium into a passive state are presented. The plans for decommissioning BN-350 are presented. The possibility...

Description
Summary:The general features and strategies of decommissioning BN-350 are presented. The features of sodium purification by 137 Cs removal, coolant drainage from the reactor vessel, and transfer of sodium into a passive state are presented. The plans for decommissioning BN-350 are presented. The possibility of using the BN-350 sodium-handling technologies for BN-600 is examined.
