Supercritical water-cooled reactor start

The symposium on supercritical water cooled reactors started in 2000. The first and second ones were held at the University of Tokyo in November 2000 and September 2003. The third one was held at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China in March 2007. The fourth one was held is Heidelberg, Germany in March 2009. The proceedings were published. 

Start-up system in a pressure tube-type supercritical water-cooled reactor concept... 

Part One, which is completely dedicated to six Generation IV concepts (1) Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) or just High Temperature Reactor (HTR) (2) Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) (3) Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) (4) Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) (5) Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) and (6) Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) and which is started with the official information from the Generation IV International Forum (GIF). 

The Generation Four International Fomm (GIF) was started in 2002. The supercritical water cooled reactor (SCWR) was taken as one of the six generation 4 reactors. Canada serves as the lead country. The activities are seen in the GIF home page [147]. Canadian researchers are also carrying out studies of a pressure tube type SCWR [148-151].
