Description

Nuclear energy will play a big part in being part of the future energy mix since it offers a relatively clean, safe and reliable source of energy. Next generation nuclear energy technologies (Generation IV) are being developed around the world that offers innovative core designs and fuel cycles. Supercritical Fluids (SCFs)1 have been proposed for GenIV thermodynamic cycles to achieve high thermal efficiencies. Super Critical Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) is one of the proposed Gen IV design relying heavily on the use of SC Water for heat transfer. This abstract presents the latest developments on SCWR concepts around the world. (author)
