Global performance comparison between the different types of cores.
| Standard oxide fuel cores as SPX, EFR types | CADOR oxide fuel Core | |
|---|---|---|
| Transient over power | ||
| Large gas bubble through the core | Prompt reactivity excursion/fuel melting | No fuel melting |
| Full core compacting | Prompt reactivity excursion/fuel melting | No fuel melting |
| All control rods withdrawal due to core support structure breaking | Prompt reactivity excursion/fuel melting | No fuel melting |
| Unprotected loss of coolants | ||
| Loss of primary pumps | Na boiling | No Na boiling |
| Loss of heat sink | Equilibrium temperature = 800 °C | Equilibrium temperature = 650 °C |
| Loss of primary and secondary pumps | Na boiling | Na boiling |
