Liquid lead (Pb)-and lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE)-cooled fast neutron reactors (Gen-IV
LFRs) are one of the most technologically mature fission reactor technologies, due to their …

The review starts with introducing lead‑bismuth-eutectic (LBE) and challenges faced by
immersed mechanical components. The bulk of the review is about methods to mitigate LBE …

Long-term corrosion behavior of T91 steel was investigated in 550° C static liquid lead-
bismuth eutectic (LBE) at different dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration. It was found that the …

Abstract Since Lead-cooled Fast Reactors (LFR) have been conceptualized in the frame of
Generation IV International Forum (GIF), great interest has focused on the development and …

Bare and Al 2 O 3-coated austenitic steel samples are exposed to lead-fast-reactor relevant
corrosive conditions. Selective leaching of Ni, Mn and Cr is observed in bare samples …

Heat-resistant materials, applied to manufacturing high-temperature components, are pivotal
for raising the steam temperature parameters of advanced ultra-supercritical power plants …

The review paper starts with the applications of liquid metals and then concentrates on lead
and lead–bismuth eutectic used in Gen IV nuclear reactors and accelerator-driven systems …

Lead-cooled fast reactors represent the forefront of Generation IV reactor concepts thanks to
the technological development that has taken place over the last 20 years. Lead technology …

China's accelerator driven subcritical system (ADS) development has made significant
progress during the past decade. With the successful construction and operation of the …

In this paper, the conceptual design of a small lead-cooled nuclear reactor intended to
replace diesel-power in off-grid applications is presented. In a vessel of dimensions making …
