Description

The European approach in the framework of nuclear energy advancement is described, in the light of such prominent objectives as safety, sustainability and transmutation of nuclear waste. The highlights are given on innovation and safety related design aspects of relevant fast neutron reactor component and systems. The materials requirements and related new challenges on materials for selected systems as decay heat removal systems, energy conversion systems, core components, etc., will be discussed and related European R&D programmes presented.
