The high breeding core of a supercritical water cooled fast reactor has been designed with tightly packed fuel rod assemblies to obtain a high breeding ratio and negative reactivity coefficients. A high breeding capability of less than 50 years of compound system doubling time was reported by the conceptual design study of the reactor at ICONE21. The present paper describes the safety analysis of the reactor for accidents and abnormal transients at supercritical pressure. The safety principle, safety system configuration and types of the abnormal transients and accidents are the same as those of the Super FR [1]. Safety criteria such as cladding temperature, pressure and fuel enthalpy are similar to those of Super FR. Results indicate that all safety criteria are satisfied.

4 fast-spectrum molten salt conceptual designs have been selected for fuel cycle performance analysis. 3D full core and 2D unit cell models have been developed to justify the possibility to use a simplified model for computational-heavy depletion simulation with truly continuous online reprocessing. Finally, 60-years depletion simulation for Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) shown lifetime breeding ratio 1.0072 and doubling time 139 years in Th/U fuel cycle.
