45. Optimization of sodium purification systems for fast reactor nuclear power plants

A problem of rational construction of efficient primary and secondary sodium puri

fication systems for fast reactor nuclear power plants is considered. On the ba

sis of the BN-350 operating experience and published data some values are presen

ted which allow to make evaluations of the systems for the plants to come.

The start-up and operation experi

ence of the BN-350 fast reactor nuclear

power plant, the first industrial plant

of its kind in the USSR, made it pos

sible to verify in practice some prin

cipal solutions oh constructions of

equipment and technological schemes.

These solutions were adopted at the de
