Rapsodie was an experimental nuclear reactor built in Cadarache in France. It was France's first fast reactor, and first achieved criticality in 1967. Rapsodie was a sodium-cooled fast neutron loop-type reactor with a thermal output of 40MW and no electrical generation facilities, and closed in 1983.〔http://www.iaea.org/OurWork/ST/NE/NEFW/CEG/documents/ws102003_michaille1-e.pdf〕 Rapsodie was operated in conditions considered representative of a commercial plant in terms of temperatures (inlet 400C, outlet 550C) and neutron flux(3.2e15n/cm/s), and served to prove out many elements used in later, larger, breeder reactors. Rapsodie operated for 15 years, and suffered two leaks, a sodium micro leak in 1978 that was so small it was never found, and a nitrogen gas leak in 1982. 〔http://www.tesionline.com/__PDF/23539/23539p.pdf〕 Rapsodie is currently in Stage 2 decommissioning. ==See also== *Fast neutron reactor 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rapsodie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
