Abstract

This paper presents the development and operation of experimental infrastructure at Ansaldo Nuclear, dedicated to advancing research in lead fast reactor (LFR) technology. The infrastructure comprises two key facilities: the Versatile Lead Loop Facility (VLF) and the Passive Heat Removal Facility (PHRF). This paper discusses the conceptualization, design, and operational aspects of these facilities, highlighting their significance in advancing the understanding and development of advanced reactor technologies, particularly LFRs.
