AtheNa-SA project in JAEA is planned to evaluate the availability of cooling system in the reactor vessel under the severe accident of loop-type or pool-type sodium-cooled fast reactor. This report describes the design study of large scale sodium test facility AtheNa-RV, which could simulate natural circulation decay heat removal system in normal or damaged core.
