1 Generation IV international Forum Overall Mission :
Development of one or several nuclear energy systems which are : Deployable by 2030 Competitive in various markets With significant advances in : Sustainability Economics Safety and reliability Proliferation resistant Physical protection Suitable for different applications : Electricity, Hydrogen, Desalination, Heat production

2 Goals for Future Nuclear Energy Systems - Generation IV
Missions and additional criteria 5 fundamental criteria ECONOMICS Competitiveness Investment cost SAFETY Operation/Accidents Severe conditions Electricity generation Hydrogen production High temperature process heat Long-lived radioactive waste burning High sustainability Save natural resources (U, Th) Reuse (U, Pu) from existing reactors Minimize Waste production Integral recycling of actinides Enhance proliferation resistance Pu burning, Integration of fuel cycle Symbiosis with existing LWRs Flexible adaptation to diverse fuel cycles

3 Generation IV international Forum
The 6 reactors to be studied and tested : MSR SCWR VHTR GFR SFR LFR SODIUM-COOLED FAST REACTOR LEAD-COOLED FAST REACTOR VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE REACTOR GAS-COOLED FAST REACTOR SUPER-CRITICAL WATER REACTOR MOLTEN SALT REACTOR
