The next generation of nuclear energy systems, also known as Generation IV reactors, are being developed to meet the highest targets safety and reliability, sustainability, economics, proliferation resistance, physical protection, with improved performances compared currently licensed plants or those presently built. Among proposed technologies, lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs) have been identified by industries in both Western developing countries among optimal candidates. Since 2000, ENEA,...
Nuclear energy is presently the single major low-carbon electricity source in Europe and overall expected to maintain (perhaps eventually even increase) its current installed power from now 2045. Long-term operation (LTO) a reality essentially all nuclear European countries, when planning phase out. New builds are planned. Moreover, several including non-nuclear or phasing out ones, have interests next generation systems. In this framework, materials material science play crucial role...
Abstract The experimental qualification of the tritium extraction unit (TEU) from LiPb eutectic alloy (15.7 at. % Li), breeder material water-cooled lithium–lead breeding blanket concept, is one fundamental items for demonstration balance sustainability ITER and DEMO fusion reactors. Several technologies have been proposed as TEU, but selection reference technology can be carried out only after measurement efficiency. For this purpose, a dedicated facility, called TRIEX-II, was designed...
