An analytic approach to the design of passively safe lead-cooled reactors

• A methodology to assist the design of liquid metal reactors, passively cooled by natural circulation duringoff-normal conditions, is derived from first principle physics. Based on this methodology, a preliminarydesign of a small LFR is accomplished and presented with accompanying neutronic and reactor dynamiccharacterizations. The benefit of using this methodology for reactor design compared to other availablemethods is discussed.
