Technological Progress in the Material Research & Development for Gen-IV SCWR Advanced Reactors

Abstract:

As development of Generation IV reactors, research and development on materials of high thermal resistance, corrosion resistance is necessary to support advanced reactors applications. The design objectives for candidate materials in supercritical water cooled reactors were summarized and introduced in this paper, as well as material research activities and progresses in foreign countries. In the next decades, a significant number of new power plants would be constructed in China, it would be a good opportunity for promoting international collaboration and material R&D for SCWR.
