Generation IV: nuclear reactor systems for the future

Generation IV: nuclear reactor systems for the future
Code référence : 558
OBJECTIFS
The general objective is to provide participants with an up-to-date, basic knowledge on the six concepts selected for the 4thgeneration of
nuclear systems (SFR, LFR, GFR, V/HTR, SCWR, MSR):
• describe the main characteristics sof each concept,
• formulate their design, performance and safety aspects,
• discuss the technical challenges they are faced with for future development.
PUBLIC
Professionals, researchers and students with an interest in a global view of on the 4th generation of nuclear reactors.
