Experimental and theoretical work is now in progress at the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique to support the sodium mixed-oxide fast reactor design calculations of the heterogeneous concept. The results obtained with the calculational method presently used are compared to the experimental values given by the PRE-RACINE program performed on the MASURCA facility. The following parameters are studied:
