In recent few years RF Concern "Rosenergoatom has promoted R&D in support of designing of innovation VVER with supercritical parameters of water coolant (VVER-SCP). Main goals of VVER-SCP have been the followings: possibility of operation of reactor in a regime of self-provision by fuel in the closed cycle; energy efficiency of NPP should be not less than 40-42%. One of VVER-SCP concepts has...

Research and development of fast reactors have been carried out in several European nations with mixed oxide fuel and sodium coolant as reference materials. In addition, the transmutation of Minor Actinides (MAs) in fast reactors has been investigated extensively from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental burden of long-lived radioisotopes.
Nitride fuel and lead as coolant represent...

Fast reactors have a capability to effectively burn TRU (transuranic) compared to LWR due to its higher fission-to-capture ratio of TRU and to reduce the burden of radioactive waste disposal. The most effective way to burn TRU is to use uranium-free TRU fuel since it does not produce any new TRU. In order to clarify the feasibility of uranium-free TRU burning fast reactor cycle with metal...

SEALER (Swedish Advanced Lead Reactor) is a 3-10 MWe lead-cooled fast reactor operating on 19.9 % enriched UO2 fuel. It is designed for commercial production of electricity in communities and mining operations in the Canadian Arctic.
The reactor is capable of passive decay heat removal by radiation through the primary vessel and will make use of novel, highly corrosion resistant...
