HomeEuratom contribution to the Generation IV International Forum Systems in the period 2005-2014 and future outlook
Publication metadata
The "Generation IV International Forum" (GIF) is a nuclear-related research and development international programme launched in 2001. GIF is organized into six reactor system arrangements (SA) and within each system arrangement, specific project arrangements (PA) exist. The six reactor systems are: Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR); Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR); Very High-Temperature Reactor (VHTR); Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor (GFR); Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR); Molten Salt Reactor (MSR). In addition, three cross-cutting methodology working groups (MWG) were created on Economic Modelling (EMWG), Proliferation Resistance and Physical Protection (PRPPWG), and on Risk and Safety (RSWG). On the basis of an EU Commission Decision, Euratom adhered to GIF by signing in July 2003 the "Charter of the Generation IV Forum". Euratom then acceded to the International "Framework Agreement" among the Members of the Generation IV International Forum. The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission is the Implementing Agent for Euratom within GIF. France is participating as an individual full member within GIF and only specific information will be given to complement any GIF reporting provided by France. Euratom has been contributing to all six systems to allow all EU Member States (MS) to share research results in systems of their choice. This is necessary because EU MS are responsible of their own national energy mix strategy (e.g. by including specific nuclear systems (or not) within their energy mix). This report analyses the best estimated contribution from Euratom over a 10years’ period (2005-2014) with the objective to give an overview of the systems that have been supported together with potential future activities. The main focus of this report is on budget commitments and a summary of technical details of the activities performed in each respective system.
