These generation IV reactor concepts include both thermal and fast reactors and are being developed in conjunction with advanced reprocessing technology. In addition, beyond-generation IV type reactors are being developed, which mitigate the concern on the nuclear waste issue by adopting very high-burn...

Image used courtesy of the IAEA The 278-page report highlights new and advanced nuclear reactor concepts at varying levels of technical maturity, such as small modular reactors (...
Fig. 1.31.Advanced reactor concepts (ARC). www.nuclear.gov. As part of ARC benefits of Research and Development (R&D) for Advanced Reactor Concepts, nuclear fissionable energy will continue to provide clean, affordable, and secure energy while supporting the administration’s greenhouse gas reductio...
The ADVANCE Act, among other things, directs the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to look for ways to speed up its licensing process for new nuclear technology. It will reduce regulatory costs for companies seeking to license advanced nuclear reactor technologies, as well as creating a "p...
High-performance, advanced nuclear power plant concepts have emerged with major emphasis on lower capital costs, inherent safety, and increased reliability. The materials problems posed by these concepts are discussed and how the scientists and technologists at ORNL plan to solve them is described.关键...
They also argue NE should establish a transparent process for evaluating the various advancedreactorconcepts it supports across key performance requirements, in order to enable robust debate on the economic, safety, security and waste implications of various designs. An independent panel of experts shoul...

as the international community begins to look at advanced reactor systems and fuel cycles that minimize waste and increase proliferation resistance, materials will play an even larger role. many of the advanced reactor concepts being evaluated operate at high-temperature requiring the use of durable, ...
In 2001, the GIF endorsed six nuclear system concepts, which will deliver affordable energy products while satisfactorily addressing the issues of nuclear safety, waste, and proliferation (Petti, 2014). Recognizing the VHTR to be nearest term deployable and exceptionally suitable, not only for electri...
Advanced research reactor concepts are presently being developed in order to meet the neutron-based research needs of the nineties. Among these research reactors, which are characterized by an average power density of 1鈥 10 MW per liter,... K B?Ning,PVD Hardt - 《Nuclear Instruments & Method...
