Abstract

MONJU is a sodium-cooled, loop-type prototype fast breeder reactor with three primary cooling loops which can supply 280 MW of electricity. Limiting conditions of operation (LCO) defined in the safety regulations in MONJU given the allowed outage time (AOT) are evaluated using a PSA technique. The result indicates the possibility of limit extension and some prospects that we should examine.
