This paper presents the application of the Integrated Safety Assessment Methodology (ISAM), developed by the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) Risk and Safety Working Group (RSWG), to the Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor (LFR). In this effort, the LFR-provisional System Steering Committee (pSSC) determined that the information available on the reference systems for GIF activities was not sufficient for an accurate and complete application of the ISAM. As a consequence, the LFR-pSSC decided to include in the paper, to the extent possible, a summary of the existing common features of the three LFR reference systems (ELFR, BREST, SSTAR), and then present an application of ISAM to the ALFRED demonstrator since, for this system, a consistent set of information has been disclosed and is available for the application. After presenting a short overview of ISAM and a short summary of the three reference LFR systems, the ALFRED design is reported in more detail and then the results of the ISAM application are summarized.
