چکیده
Conventional nuclear power reactors have almost reached a power size limit after pursuing the economies of scale by building larger plants. Future directions in which nuclear power can be effectively developed are unlikely to be toward larger sizes. Currently it is almost impossible to find new sites for larger plants in the developed countries; larger plants also pose a large economic risk that might be unbearable even for large companies or governments.

Partitioning and Transmutation of Spent Nuclear Fuel by Peacer
Challenges of managing long-living spent nuclear fuel wastes are to be technically overcome by a partitioning and transmutation system named as PEACER that is an abbreviation of its design goals: Proliferation-resistant, Environment-friendly, Accident-tolerant, Continuable and Economical Reactor. PEACER has been developed to manage spent nuclear fuels by uniquely combining Pb-Bi cooled critical...
متن کاملA Particle-bed Gas-cooled Fast Reactor Core Design for Waste Minimisation
The issue of waste minimisation in advanced reactor systems has been investigated using the Particle-Bed Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (PB-GCFR) design being developed and funded under the U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (USDOE NERI) Programme. Results indicate that for the given core power density and constraint on the maximum TRU enrichment allowable, the lowest amount ...
متن کاملLead-cooled Fast Reactor (lfr): Overview and Perspectives
he GIF Technology Roadmap [1] identified the Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) as a technology with great potential to meet the small-unit electricity needs of remote sites while also offering advantages as a large system for grid-connected power stations. The LFR features a fast-neutron spectrum and a closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium. It can also be used as a burner o...

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...
متن کاملLead Pressure Loss in the Heat Exchanger of the Elsy Fast Lead- Cooled Reactor by Cfd Approach
The present paper discusses the pressure loss through the spiral heat exchanger (HX) proposed in the ELSY (European-Lead cooled SYstem) project. An approach based on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) using the commercial code ANSYS CFX has been used for exploring the flow through the HX. The HX consists of perforated double inner and double outer walls, as well as an innovative spiral design o...
