Overview of major HZDR developments for fast reactor analysis

The upgrading of the DYN3D code for the application for fast reactors is described. After validation, a diverse code with the possibility for steady state and transient core analysis on the basis of coupled thermal hydraulics/neutronics calculations is available. The work on the use of fine distributed moderating material in SFR cores is discussed with the target on enhancing the feedback coefficients in SFR cores without influencing the operational. Newly developed analytical solutions without separation of space and time for the analysis of ADS experiments are shown with good agreement for the YALINA experiment. The analytical solutions are a very promising tool for the development of a new method for the analysis of ADS experiments.
