Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) Fuel loading and unloading expertise

A0995

Preparing for the dismantling of an FBR containing sodium initially requires final unloading, which involves removing the fuel assemblies and associated elements (control rods, reflectors, lateral neutron shield). Framatome can meet the operator’s requirements for the final unloading of an FBR, and take action at various levels for this purpose, such as by defining the scenario, and adjusting technical, operating and handling resources.
