Abstract
The overall objective of the HPLWR project is to assess the merit and economic feasibility of a high efficiency LWR operating at thermodynamically supercritical regime. An efficiency of 44% is expected. To accomplish this objective, a highly qualified team of European research institutes and industrial partners together with the University of Tokyo, will assess the major issues pertaining to a new reactor concept, under the co-sponsorship of the European Commission. The assessment will emphasize the recent advancement achieved in this area by Japan, will account for advanced reactor design requirements and improvements, will consider practical design aspects and availability of plant components as well as the availability of high temperature materials. The final objective is to reach a conclusion on the potential of the HPLWR to help sustain the nuclear option, by supplying competitively priced electricity and by giving an additional option for plutonium management.
