Abstract
Much of the global demand for electricity and some demand for heat can be met by a nuclear technology that will comply with the safety, environmental and economic requirements of a large power industry. Nuclear power can grow on a large scale based primarily on big nuclear plants with fast reactors. The key requirements among those placed on the reactor and fuel cycle technologies include: efficient utilisation of accumulated Pu and reduction of specific U consumption by an order of magnitude or more; natural safety - deterministic exclusion of accidents involving large radioactive releases, balance between the radiation hazards of radioactive waste subject to burial and of uranium extracted from the earth; resistance to proliferation of nuclear weapons; reduction in the cost of new plants relative to modern LWRs. This presentation describes the work done on designing a plant with a demonstration lead-cooled 300 MWe reactor (BREST-OD-300) and on experimental validation of the adopted reactor and fuel cycle design.
