The Super FR is one of the SuperCritical Water cooled Reactor (SCWR) concepts with once-through direct cycle plant system. Recently, new design concept of axially heterogeneous core has been proposed, which consists of multiple layers of MOX and blanket fuels. To clarify the safety performance during power transient, safety analyses have been conducted for uncontrolled control rod (CR) withdrawal and CR ejection at full power. RELAP/SCDAPSIM code was used for the safety analysis. The results show that the peak cladding surface temperature (PCST) is high in the upper MOX fuel layer. It is also shown that axial temperature gradient of cladding greatly increases in a short period. Suppressing such large temperature gradient may be a design issue for the axially heterogeneous core from the viewpoint of ensuring fuel integrity.
