Severe Accidents in Sodium Fast Reactors

Severe Accidents in Sodium Fast Reactors (N/A) by Frédéric Bertrand, Andrea Bachrata, Nathalie Seiler, and Christophe Journeau delivers an authoritative, timely exploration of safety challenges surrounding sodium-cooled fast reactors. Clear, rigorous, and written by experienced researchers, this book immediately draws in engineers, safety analysts, regulators, and academics seeking practical insight into severe accident behavior in liquid-sodium systems.

Delving into the physics, thermal-hydraulics, and material interactions that define accident progression in Sodium Fast Reactors (SFRs), the authors synthesize experimental results, modelling approaches, and mitigation strategies. Readers will gain a strong grasp of key topics—core degradation, sodium–water and sodium–air interactions, decay heat removal, and in-vessel vs. ex-vessel phenomena—presented with clarity for both technical specialists and decision-makers. The text balances in-depth analysis with accessible explanations, making it an essential reference for anyone involved in nuclear safety assessment or reactor design.

Whether you work within Europe’s advanced reactor programs, national regulatory bodies, or international nuclear research communities, this volume equips you with actionable knowledge to inform safety cases, emergency planning, and design improvements. The perspectives offered support compliance with modern safety standards while addressing the unique risks posed by liquid sodium coolant.

For professionals and students committed to advancing reactor safety, Severe Accidents in Sodium Fast Reactors is a practical, scholarly resource that enhances understanding and guides safer implementation of SFR technology.
