Abstract
The liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (PbBi) has good compatibility with water, which is different from sodium. It is expected that the PbBi could be used as a coolant of the deep sea fast reactor (DSFR). Physics analysis of the PbBi-cooled small reactor cores with and without inner control rods performed using the computer program of a neutronics code system (SRAC95) shows that PbBi is suitable for the coolant of small reactors as well as NaK.
