FAST REACTOR TECHNOLOGY R&D ACTIVITIES IN CHINA

Fast Reactor Fuel Reprocessing Technology in India

The limited indigenous uranium resource coupled with the need of energy independence necessitated the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in India to opt for a three-stage nuclear power program comprising of PHWRs in Stage 1, FBRs in Stage 2 and Th-U based reactors in Stage 3, respectively to meet the energy needs of the growing Indian economy. Presently the country has stepped into the 2nd Stage...

Advanced Fast Reactor:

The AFR concept is being developed at Argonne National Laboratory, as an extension of earlier work done on the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR). That work was undertaken specifically to resolve some pressing technical issues in safety, waste management, nonproliferation, and economics. Also important, however, was the fundamental fact that the efficient utilization of uranium resources is crucial to...

Fast Reactor Physics and Computational Methods

Six advanced reactor concepts have been selected for Generation-IV reactors and are being investigated worldwide to meet the challenging goals of effective resource utilization and waste minimization (sustainability), improved safety, enhanced proliferation resistance, and reduced system cost. [1] The six systems are very high temperature reactor (VHTR), sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), superc...
