Generation IV: nuclear reactor systems for the future

INSTN (French Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology) and the GEN IV International Forum are jointly organizing the International course: Generation IV: Nuclear reactor system for the future.

The GEN IV course is particularly designed for professionals, engineers, researchers and students with an interest in a global view of the 4^th generation of nuclear reactor as well as the scientists already involved in GEN IV activities.

The general objective is to provide participants with an up-to-date, basic knowledge on the six concepts selected for the 4^thgeneration of nuclear systems (SFR, LFR, GFR, V/HTR, SCWR, MSR):

• Describe the main characteristics sof each concept,
• Formulate their design, performance and safety aspects,
• Discuss the technical challenges they are faced with for future development.
