Safety design approach for sodium-cooled fast reactor coupled to thermal energy storage system with sodium-molten salt heat exchanger improving heat transfer performance

A sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) can make flexibility with variable renewable energy by coupling a thermal energy storage (TES) system with molten salt. One of technical issues for the SFR coupled with TES is a heat exchanger (HX) between sodium and molten salt. In particular,...
