The Strategy is based on the formation of a two-component nuclear energy based on a closed nuclear fuel cycle with fast neutron reactors.
The solution of long-term tasks of creating a two-component nuclear power with a closed NFC based on fast reactors is associated with the need to create a system for training, attracting and developing young professionals based on new...
The United Kingdom was one of the countries pioneering fast reactor development and demonstration with the construction and operation of two fast neutron spectrum reactors at the Dounreay site; multiple support facilities including zero-power and thermal hydraulic facilities; and demonstrated several sustainable and closed fuel cycles. Since the end of the UK Fast Reactor Programme in 1994...
Collaboration and support among national laboratories, industry, universities, and research and development organizations are vital to not only maintain a skilled and competent nuclear workforce but also to avert the risk of human resource shortages. However, despite numerous efforts in coordinating and promoting nuclear education, there is still a lot to be done for developed and developing...
Obninsk Institute for Nuclear Power Engineering has been realizing education and training of specialists for nuclear industry since establishing in 1950s. Educational programs are developed for nuclear power plants as well as for research and development institutions of Russian Federation and abroad. Due to close connections with scientific Institute of Physics and Power Engineering named A.I....
ALFRED is the demonstrator of Lead Fast Reactor (LFR) technology. According to strategic documents (at national level and of FALCON international consortium), it is planned to be built on Mioveni nuclear platform. An experimental infrastructure consisting of six experimental facilities (ATHENA, HELENA2, ELF, ChemLab, HandsON, Meltin’Pot) and a coordination Hub is planned to be built on the...
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) supplements and supports nuclear research and development with many efforts to improve and make nuclear data more accessible. Through technical community building research projects, and tool development, the Nuclear Power Technology Development section (NPTDS) provides many services and opportunities to amplify the research of member states’...
