► Using a moderation layer can reduce the sodium void effect in a SFR. ► Inserting the moderation layer improves the Doppler effect significantly. ► The uniform layer distribution avoids effects on power and burnup distribution. ► Hydride containing material like uranium-zirconium hydride is most efficient.
