Abstract

Two postulated transients of the European Sodium Fast Reactor (ESFR) are analyzed. Both the heat conduction equations from the fuel pellet to the coolant, in this case, sodium, as well as the Point Kinetics equations are used to estimate the power or temperature distribution in the fuel channel. Two postulated ESFR transients were used as a benchmark. The highest percentage deviations found were below 13%.
