List of the main changes • Executive summary • List of LFR safety features • Insertion of Roadmap tables (prepared by NRG): • Technical roadmap for deployment of a European LFR • TechnicalroadmapfordeploymentofALFRED • Appendix A (NRG): containing Detailed Technical Roadmaps for • GUINEVERE(ZeroPowerFacility) • ELECTRA(EducationandTrainingFacility) • MYRRHA(FastSpectrumIrradiationFacility,TechnologyPilotPlant) • ALFRED(Demonstrator) • PROLFR(Prototype) • ELFR(First-of-a-kindindustrialLFR)
The LFR safety features Favorable: Lead does not react with air or water. Lead has high density and high thermal inertia. Lead has a low neutron absorption cross section. Lead has a high boiling point. Lead does not form hydrogen. Not favorable: Lead has a high melting point. Lead is opaque. Lead is corrosive and erosive. Lead has Po-210 production rate (even if very low).
