Abstract
The transient analysis model for the 200 kW Advanced Space Fast Reactor RAPID-L was developed. The unprotected transient overpower(UTOP) and unprotected loss of flow(ULOF) were analyzed by this model. It is demonstrated that the quick lithium expansion module(LEM) can response promptly according to the coolant temperature variation and safeguard the reactor without shut-down, so RAPID-L has the characteristics of inherent safety.
