DOIAbstract
A program on fast reactor safety is described in which the theoretical aspects, techniques and accuracy of calculation, and associated safety predictions are considered. One topic deals with the success obtained in analyzing complicated meltdown configurations using two-dimensional, twogroup diffusion theory. Another topic deals with the dependence of energy yield in a fast reactor explosion on the shape of the power distribution in the core. The results of a brief survey are included dealing with the change of dynamic reactor behavior during various startup accidents as a consequence of a reduction in the delayed-neutron fraction.
