Abstract
A model was developed to simulate the coupled dynamics of a sub-critical fast reactor fueled with transuranics (TRU), a DT tokamak fusion neutron source and the heat removal and secondary systems. Several types of accident initiating events—inadvertent increases in the auxilliary power and fueling sources for the fusion neutron source, inadvertent control rod ejection from the reactor core, loss of flow (LOFA), and loss of heat sink (LOHSA)—were simulated in order to determine the time available to detect accident onset and take corrective action. A more detailed description is presented in Ref. 1.
