Abstract

There is provided a core of a fast reactor capable of achieving a sodium-cooled metal fuel fast reactor with high adaptability to a molten salt heat storage system, by flattening the output distribution and raising the coolant outlet temperature while suppressing deterioration of the core characteristic. A core of a fast factor is a fuel assembly obtained by densely disposing fuel rods within a wrapper tube, the fuel rod storing, within a cladding tube, hollow fuel in which Pu-enrichment is made to be a predetermined value within a range of 11 to 13 wt %. In the core of a fast factor, a first fuel assembly including a fuel rod with a large hollow diameter of the hollow fuel is loaded on the center side of the core, and a second fuel assembly including a fuel rod with a hollow diameter smaller than the hollow diameter of the hollow fuel of the first fuel assembly is loaded on the circumferential side of the core.
