Summary
Safety and Design
The designer of a fast reactor, just like the designer of any other engineering enterprise, has to take into account what might happen if something goes wrong. He or she has to make sure that whatever happens the risk of injury – either to the operating staff or the general public – or of damage to property, is very slight.
There are basically two ways of making a reactor safe. First the overall design concept is chosen so that it is inherently safe. That is to say that for a number of possible accidents the design is such that the reactor behaves safely and damage does not spread even if no protective action, automatic or deliberate, is taken. But it is not possible to guard against all accidents in this way, however well the overall design is chosen. The second way to make the reactor safe is to incorporate protective systems. These are devices designed specifically to prevent the damaging consequences of accidents. A protective system can be active, such as an automatic shutdown system, or passive, such as a containment barrier.

Summary
Introduction
In common with pressurised water reactors (PWRs), boiling water reactors (BWRs) and advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGRs) most fast power reactors use oxide fuel. There is a certain amount of experience with metal fuel in the United States, and there is interest in the use of metal fuel and other ceramic fuels such as nitride or carbide for future fast reactors. This chapter deals mainly with the oxide and metal fuels of which there is most experience, and it covers other fuel materials in less detail.
Since oxide fuels are widely used much of this chapter applies as well to thermal reactors as to fast reactors. The main difference is that new fast reactor fuel usually consists of a mixture of plutonium and uranium dioxides whereas at present most thermal reactors use enriched uranium dioxide with a small amount of plutonium present after irradiation. The use of mixed uranium and plutonium dioxide (MOX) fuel in thermal reactors is increasing. Most water-cooled thermal reactors have fuel clad in zirconium alloy, but AGRs use stainless steel, and because of the similarity of the coolant temperatures there is much in common between the behaviour of AGR fuel and that of a sodium-cooled fast reactor.

Summary
Choice of Coolant
This chapter describes the engineering of the remainder of the plant in a fast reactor electricity-generating station, apart from the reactor core that is the subject of Chapter 3. The nature of the plant depends primarily on the coolant, which is the heat-transfer medium. The main considerations determining the choice of the coolant were explained in sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4. The most important is that the high power density of a fast reactor core demands a high-density coolant and high coolant velocities. The relative advantages and disadvantages of the various possible coolants can be summarised in terms of the choices available to a reactor designer, as follows.
Liquid or Gas. Helium has the advantage that it is chemically inert and is therefore appropriate for use in a high-temperature reactor. CO2 has the advantage that there is extensive experience of its use in thermal reactors. Neither presents significant problems of corrosion or erosion. However any gas coolant has to be pressurised to make it dense enough to transport heat out of the core without unreasonably high velocities. The major consequent disadvantage is that it is then very hard to guarantee that decay heat could be removed safely in the event of an accidental loss of pressure. It would be necessary either to accept relatively low power density in the core (compared with what is possible if a liquid coolant is used) or to provide elaborate emergency cooling equipment for use in the event of a major breach of the primary coolant system. For this reason no gas-cooled power-producing fast reactor has, at the time of writing, been built and thus there is no operating experience, but that does not mean that gas coolant may not at some time in the future become attractive.

Summary
Chain Reactions
Early in 1939 Meitner and Frisch suggested that the correct interpretation of the results observed when uranium is bombarded with neutrons is that the uranium nuclei undergo fission. Within a few months two very important things became clear: that fission releases a large amount of energy, and that fission of a nucleus by one neutron liberates usually two or three new neutrons. These discoveries immediately disclosed the possibility of a chain reaction that would produce power.
There was a difficulty, however, in making a chain reaction work. Natural uranium consists of two isotopes: 235U (with an abundance of 0.7%) and 238U (99.3%). Of the two only 235U is “fissile”, meaning that fission can be induced in it by neutrons of any energy. On the other hand 238U undergoes fission only if the neutrons have an energy greater than about 1.5 MeV, and even then they are more likely to be captured or scattered inelastically.

Summary
Introduction
Having described the neutron physics of a fast reactor in Chapter 1 and the behaviour of the fuel elements in Chapter 2, in this chapter we discuss the engineering of the core of a power-producing fast reactor. The three following sections deal with heat transfer, materials and structure.
Heat transfer comes first because the dimensions of the fuel elements and of the core are determined mainly by the demands of heat transfer. The fuel elements have to be of the right dimensions to transfer heat to the coolant at the required rate without overheating. The core has then to be large enough to allow enough coolant to flow through it to take the heat away. This section deals mainly with liquid metal coolants.
Once themain dimensions are fixed the form of the core is determined by the properties of the materials of which it is made, and in particular by the way these properties are affected by neutron irradiation and exposure to the coolant. The structure of the core has then to be designed within these constraints to hold the fuel in place, to allow it to be changed when necessary, to distribute the coolant flow correctly, and to provide for the control rods.

Summary
Physics and Design
Whether the purpose of a fast reactor is to generate power, to breed fissile material, to consume fissile material or to consume nuclear waste products, whether its chain reaction is to be critical and self-sustaining or subcritical and driven by an external source of neutrons, reactor physics – the understanding of the nuclear reactions that take place in it – is fundamental to its design in two ways. Firstly, criticality is a question of reactor physics. The designer of the reactor has to determine the size and composition needed to make the reactor critical or to achieve the required degree of subcriticality, to predict the effect on reactivity of movement of the control rods and the burnup of the fuel, and to estimate the reactivity changes that come about in the course of normal operation and under abnormal conditions. Secondly, he or she has to know the rate at which various nuclear reactions take place, for on these depend the power generated and its distribution within the reactor, the burnup of the fuel, the breeding or destruction of fissile material and nuclear waste, the alteration of the properties of the materials of which the reactor is constructed, the build-up of radioactivity, and the need for radiation shielding.
Reactor physics is not, however, the only important influence on design. Heat transfer, structural, metallurgical, and safety considerations are also important, and the design ultimately chosen is a compromise. In reaching this compromise a designer's overriding aim is that the reactor should be as effective as possible in achieving its objectives, provided that it is safe.

Summary
This book is a revision and extension of Fast Breeder Reactors: An Engineering Introduction, published in 1981. I have rewritten much of it in the light of developments in fast reactor technology that have taken place in the subsequent three decades, and to take account of the new applications for fast reactors that have been suggested.
It is intended for the newcomer to the study of fast reactors, either as a student or at a later stage of his or her career. It will probably be most useful to someone who already has some knowledge of nuclear reactors. There are many excellent introductory texts for the beginner in nuclear engineering but they all concentrate on thermal reactors. The purpose of this book is to provide an up-to-date account of fast reactors for those who want to take the next step.
Fast reactor technology has become a wide field, so wide that it is not possible to cover all of it in depth in a single book of reasonable length. What I have attempted is to cover the whole in sufficient detail to allow the reader to understand the important features, and to provide suitable references for further study. I have gone into detail on the neutron physics because any fast reactor engineer, whether he or she is a designer, an operator or a researcher, needs to understand how the machinery works at a basic level. I have also attempted to include the results of experience, often hard-won, of operating a fast reactor power station.

An invaluable resource for both graduate-level engineering students and practising nuclear engineers who want to expand their knowledge of fast nuclear reactors, the reactors of the future. This book is a concise yet comprehensive introduction to all aspects of fast reactor engineering. It covers topics including neutron physics; neutron flux spectra; flux distribution; Doppler and coolant temperature coefficients; the performance of ceramic and metal fuels under irradiation, structural changes, and fission-product migration; the effects of irradiation and corrosion on structural materials, irradiation swelling; heat transfer in the reactor core and its effect on core design; coolants including sodium and lead-bismuth alloy; coolant circuits; pumps; heat exchangers and steam generators; and plant control. The book includes new discussions on lead-alloy and gas coolants, metal fuel, the use of reactors to consume radioactive waste, and accelerator-driven subcritical systems.

Objective:
We aimed to use the consensus opinion of a group of expert emergency physicians to derive a set of emergency diagnoses for acute abdominal pain that might be used as clinically significant outcomes for future research.
Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of emergency physicians with expertise in abdominal pain. These experts were authors of textbook chapters, peer-reviewed original research with a focus on abdominal pain or widely published clinical guidelines. Respondents were asked to categorize 50 possible diagnoses of acute abdominal pain into 1 of 3 categories: 1) unacceptable not to diagnose on the first emergency department (ED) visit; 2) although optimal to diagnose on first visit, failure to diagnose would not be expected to have serious adverse consequences provided the patient had follow-up within the next 2–7 days; 3) if not diagnosed during the first visit, unlikely to cause long-term risk to the patient provided the patient had follow-up within the next 1–2 months. Standard descriptive statistical analysis was used to summarize survey data.
Results:Thirty emergency physicians completed the survey. Of 50 total diagnoses, 16 were categorized as “unacceptable not to diagnose in the ED” with greater than 85% agreement, and 12 were categorized as “acceptable not to diagnose in the ED” with greater than 85% agreement.
Conclusion:Our study identifies a set of abdominal pain conditions considered by expert emergency physicians to be clinically important to diagnose during the initial ED visit. These diseases may be used as “clinically significant” outcomes for future research on abdominal pain.
