Description

The meeting TECDOC is now published and available online: Download

The purpose of the event is to discuss experiences and the latest innovations and technological challenges related to structural materials proposed for innovative reactors cooled by lead and lead-bismuth eutectic. Read More...

The main objectives of the meeting are to:

  • Promote and facilitate the exchange of information on structural materials for HLM cooled reactors at the national and international levels;
  • Present and discuss the current status of R&D in this field;
  • Discuss and identify R&D needs and gaps to assess the future requirements in the field, which should eventually lead to efforts being concentrated in the key lacking areas;
  • Enable the integration of research on materials in Member States (e.g. development of materials for operating in corrosive/severe environments, study of physics and chemistry of the process, design of dedicated experimental facilities and development of computational tools for material characterizations etc.) to support the development of new technologies that have a higher level of technological readiness;
  • Provide recommendations to the IAEA for future joint efforts and coordinated research activities (if required) in the field; and
  • Prepare a reference document summarizing the work presented by the participants, including the findings of the study in the standard IAEA publications format.
