TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of optimizing the cycle minimum temperature and pressure are investigated including minimum temperatures and/or pressures below the critical values, where a lower heat sink temperature is required the availability of which is dependent upon the climate at the specific plant site.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of duty cycle daily load follow operations on the creep-fatigue of the advanced burner test reactor (ABTR), the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), and the advanced recycling reactor (ARR) pre-conceptual design.
