Abstract:
After the successful operation of the fast breeder test reactor for over two decades, India is now nearing the completion of a 500 MW (electrical) prototype fast breeder reactor. This commercial scale power reactor is a sodium-cooled, pool-type, mixed-oxide fuelled fast reactor. The stability characteristics of the reactor are an important safety aspect to be studied. In the present work, linear stability of the prototype fast breeder reactor analysis is carried out using the transfer function method, while the stability of the system is checked via the Nyquist criteria.

Abstract:
Colmonoy is a nickel based alloy hardfaced with SS-316 used in Prototype Fast Breeder Reactors (PFBR) to avoid self-welding and galling between nuclear reactor and grid plate. Colmonoy is coated on the base metal –SS 316 by Plasma transfer arc welding. Due to thermal cycling that exist in reactors de-bonding between colmonoy and base metal occurs which may lead to catastrophic failure of the Prototype fast breeder reactor. Hence, estimation of the fatigue life period of hardfaced colmonoy is mandatory. Before that, finding optimum parameters which influences fusion, weld strength, composition

The steam generator (SG) tubes of the prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) located in Kalpakkam, India, need to be periodically inspected using the remote field eddy current (RFEC) technique. During the pre-service inspection of the SG tubes, it was found that the RFEC probes experienced frequent mechanical breakages. To avoid these failures, changes in the existing structural design of the RFEC probe were required. A helical groove design was proposed to obtain a smooth transition in the variation of stress across the probe during the inspection. It was difficult to calculate the flexural st
