Abstract

A new method, “Core Character Control Pin (CCP)” is proposed to load hydride into a Fast Reactor (FR) aiming at a multipurpose FR. By using this method and a new hydride (CaH₂), it is possible that one FR works for transmuting HLWs, burning weapon grade plutonium (WG-Pu) and realizing a safer reactor. The FR using a special assembly designed for transmutation can transmute about 750 [kg] of MAs which corresponds to the amount discharged from 8 LWRs through three years operation. The FR with a special assembly designed for burning WG-Pu can convert about 210[kg] of WG-Pu to the LWR grade plutonium by the three years burnup.
