Technical Meeting on the Safety of High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors and Molten Salt Reactors

Europe/Vienna
IAEA HQs, Vienna

IAEA HQs, Vienna

Description

This Technical Meeting will focus on key areas of safety of HTGR and MSR highlighted as important during the review of applicability of the IAEA Safety Standards to novel advanced reactors undertook by the IAEA and international experts in 2020-2021. This review concluded that although many of the Safety Standards are applicable to these technologies, it is essential to build detailed technical knowledge about the safety characteristics of different non-water-cooled reactor types, such as HGTRs and MSRs, including SMRs of these types.

Experts from GIF Member States can support the development of an international repository of knowledge to enhance the global understanding of the safety related issues and the safety demonstration of these technologies and to support the future development of the IAEA safety standards.

Objective

To provide the participants with an opportunity to share experiences and discuss challenges related to the safety approach in the design and the safety analysis of HTGRs and MSRs. Special emphasis will be placed on the collection of technology-specific examples of experience on the design, safety analysis, and regulation of HTGRs and MSRs.
