Optimization of reactivity control in a small modular sodium-cooled fast reactor

The small modular sodium-cooled fast reactor (SMSFR) is an important component of Generation-IV reactors. The objective of this work is to improve the reactivity control in SMSFR by using innovative systems, including burnable poisons and optimized control rods.SMSFR with MOX fuel usually exhibits h...
