Generation IV nuclear power plants (GEN IV NPPs) are supposed to become, in many
countries, an important source of base load power in the middle–long term (2030–2050) …

This paper reviews the smallness, modularity and reactor-design aspects of emerging small
modular reactors (SMRs). It is shown that small (whether in physical size or power level) …

The lead-based reactor is one of the fourth-generation nuclear energy systems with
excellent development prospects. It has attracted much attention because of its unique …

In this article, we argue that scientists and technologists associated with the nuclear industry
are building support for small modular reactors (SMRs) by advancing five rhetorical visions …

In this work, three 16Cr–25Ni superaustenitic stainless steel weld metals with the Si content
of 0.03 wt%, 1.22 wt% and 2.01 wt%, were prepared to study the microstructural evolution …

A core design of MicroURANUS, a long‐cycle lead‐bismuth‐cooled fast nuclear reactor for
marine applications, is presented. It aims to generate a power of 60MWth, which can be …

In this study the rotating cage setup, a simple laboratory methodology extensively used for
flow-accelerated corrosion and erosion-corrosion testing, is optimized via CFD simulations …

Lead‐based fast reactor is one of the most promising fourth‐generation nuclear energy
systems. Fuel assembly design is a key technology for the research and development of …

The lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) coupled with SCO 2 Brayton cycle is an advanced
nuclear power generation system which has high efficiency and high compactness. The …

Advanced nuclear power plants are currently being proposed with a number of various
designs. However, there is a lack of modeling and control strategies to deal with load …
