Abstract

Reduction of plant construction cost is one of the most important issues for commercialization of fast reactors. From this point of view, an innovative containment vessel adopting steel plate reinforced concrete structure (SCCV) is developed for Japan Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR). Although SC structure is generally in practical use, performance after exposing high temperature is not investigated. An experimental study including loading and/or heating tests has been carried out to investigate the fundamental structural features, which would be provided to develop methodology to evaluate the feasibility of SCCV under the severe conditions. In this paper, the design feature, the design and evaluation conditions for SCCV of JSFR as well as the construction method are summarized.
