Description

The next generation of nuclear energy systems, also known as Generation IV reactors, are being developed to meet the highest targets of safety and reliability, sustainability, economics, proliferation resistance and physical protection, with improved performances compared to currently licensed plants or presently being built. Among the proposed technologies, Lead-cooled Fast Reactors (LFRs) have been identified by nuclear industries, western and developing Countries among the optimal Generation IV candidates. Since 2000, ENEA is supporting the core design, safety assessment and technological development of innovative nuclear systems cooled by heavy liquid metals (HLM), and most recently fully oriented on LFRs. The talk concerns the LFR development so far, addressing strengthens and weakness of such concept.
