Generation IV Nuclear Reactors

(updated December 2010)

  • An international task force is developing six nuclear reactor technologies for deployment between 2020 and 2030. Four are fast neutron reactors. 
  • All of these operate at higher temperatures than today's reactors. In particular, four are designated for hydrogen production. 
  • All six systems represent advances in sustainability, economics, safety, reliability and proliferation-resistance. 
  • Europe is pushing ahed with three of the fast reactor designs.
