SUMMARY:Advanced Reactor Technology and Recent R&D in AMEC - Dr John Lilli
 ngton\, AMEC
DTSTART:20140206T163000Z

CONTACT:Jo Boyle
DESCRIPTION:The UK Government has recently published a strategy and roadma
 p for R&D to support a UK nuclear programme out to 2050. This long term po
 licy provides fresh impetus to work towards the realisation of new reactor
  technologies in the UK\, including Generation IV systems\, opening the do
 or to newer applications including more sustainable fuel cycles and waste 
 management.  Nearer term Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) provide a more flex
 ible scale of electricity generation at potentially reduced capital cost. 
  The lecture will highlight the novel features and applications of these r
 eactor concepts.  It will review briefly the current status of the Gen IV 
 designs\, considering their R&D requirements with particular reference to 
 those pertinent to the reactor fuel and fuel cycle.  It will discuss some 
 our (AMEC’s) R&D interests\, centred on the ANSWERS radiation transport 
 codes developments and illustrate with some particular examples.
