The previous Selection and Acquisition Strategy document dates from 2007. Since then, significant changes have occurred with reactor vendors and with the graphite manufacturers. There have also been changes in the membership of the Gen IV International Forum. These factors were considered when formulating a revised selection and selection strategy. In summary, the new graphite selection and acquisition plan is that no graphite billets will be purchased until there is new graphite production (NBG-18, PCEA). Existing supplies of NBG-17, NBG-18, PCEA, IG-110, 2114 are considered enough for future work.
