“…For such cores, it is clearly possible to reduce void worth without increasing bumup reactivity. On the other hand, the tightly coupled heterogeneous cores typical of current designs in the U.S. [8,9] appear to fall on the minimum void worth line, indicating that a reduction in void worth cannot be accomplished without an increase in bumup swing.…”

“…The PRISM RVACS is designed with a heat removal capacity sufficient to maintain reactor temperatures well below design limits using only air-based natural circulation to remove heat from the reactor guard vessel [52]. In the event of a beyond design basis accident, the metallic core expands with rising internal temperatures, and its density decreases slowing the fission reaction.…”

“…Currently, liquid-metal reactors are estimated to cost about twice as much per kW as LWRs. However, projected costs for second generation LMRs are expected to be substantially lower (Hudson and Fuller 1987;Berglund et al 1988).…”
