【英国《国际核工程》 1 999年 3月号第2 9页报道】　如果核动力将成为下个世纪的主要能源 ,快堆将起重要的作用。重要的是要设计一种安全、可靠和经济的快堆。这里提议的一种设计是具有钠回路和反应堆容器辅助冷却系统的小型快堆。每个环路包括带有冻结阀和快速响应截止装置的 [International Nuclear Project, March 1999, No. 29 Page. It is reported that fast reactors will play an important role if nuclear power is to become a major source of energy for the next century. It is important to design a fast reactor that is safe, reliable, and economical. One design proposed here is a small fast reactor with a sodium loop and a reactor vessel auxiliary cooling system. Each loop includes a valve with a freeze valve and a quick response cut-off
