Following up the previous European projects EFR and CP ESFR, a new EU project, called ESFR-SMART, was launched in September 2017. This project applies the new safety rules taking into account the Fukushima acci-dent in order to increase the safety level of the European Sodium Fast Reactor (ESFR) and reach the highest safety standards by simplifying the design and by using all the positive features of the Sodium Fast Reactors (SFR). The first ideas about the new safety measures proposed to increase the intrinsic safety level of the reactor have been presented at ICAPP 2018. This paper gives more detailed description of the new safety measures proposed for ESFR. The main measures are followings:
The main drawings of the modified ESFR, including the above-described measures, have been made and the main results are presented in the paper. Using these drawings, several calculations have begun to evaluate these measures and to demonstrate the final compliance of the proposed design to safety requirements. In the next phases of the ESFR-SMART project, the project will also recommend additional R&D needed for implementations of these safety measures in the future.
