4. The LFR safety features Favourable: Lead does not react with air or water. Lead has high density and high thermal inertia. Lead has a low neutron absorption cross section. Lead has a high boiling point. Lead has very low Po-210 production rate. Lead does not form hydrogen. Not favorable: Lead has a high melting point. Lead is opaque. Lead is corrosive and erosive.

5. LFR ETDR (ALFRED) pre-conceptual design being carried out within the Leader Project (2010-2013) set-up of an international consortium (2013) conceptual design to be carried out by the international consortium (2013-2016) Preliminary contacts with licensing authorities (2013-2016) choice of a dedicated site for construction (2016) basic design for the detailed characterisation of the system (2016-2020) pre-licensing activity (2016-2020) specifications drafting and tendering for commissioning (2020) detailed design by the constructors and construction (2020-2025) licensing (2020-2025), ALFRED commissioning (2025-2026) ALFRED operation (2026 -2034) conceptual re-design (2029-2032) basic re-design (2032-2034) ALFRED refurbishment and new licensing (2034-2035) ALFRED operation phase 2 (2035-....)
