Nonproliferation advanced reactors

Although the lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) is not dealt with in this part, it is also a promising advanced FR and will be introduced in the second part by Prof. Adamov. In addition, several topics of international importance, such as nonproliferation, are treated in his part. Other advanced reactors, such as the gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR), the super critical water-cooled reactor (SCWR), and the molten-salt reactor (MSR), are briefly introduced in Sects. 58.1.4, 58.1.5, and 58.1.7, respectively. 

Part Three presents key related topics essential to the design, development, deployment, and acceptance of the Generation IV and advanced nuclear reactor concepts, which include the safety of advanced reactors, nonproliferation for advanced reactors (political and social aspects), thermal aspects of conventional and alternative fuels, hydrogen co-generation with Generation IV nuclear power plants, and advanced small modular reactors. Correspondingly, Part Three consists of five chapters (Chapters 16—20) written by top international experts working within these areas.
