Goal – provide up-to-date information on technical features

and design parameters of Advanced NPPs

IAEA Definition of Advanced NPPs [TECDOC-936]

• advanced nuclear plant designs - designs of current interest for which

improvements over their predecessors or existing designs are

expected

• evolutionary designs - advanced designs that achieve

improvements over existing designs through small to moderate

modifications, with a strong emphasis on maintaining design

proveness to minimize technological risks.

• innovative designs - advanced designs which incorporate radical

conceptual changes in design approaches or configuration in

comparison with existing practice. Substantial research and

development efforts, feasibility tests, and a prototype or

demonstration plant are probably required prior to the commercial

deploymentRef: IAEA, Terms for describing new advanced nuclear power plants, TECDOC-936 (1997)


IAEA has historically published Status IAEA has historically published Status

Reports on Advanced NPP Designs (1/2)Reports on Advanced NPP Designs (1/2)

Examples

•TECDOC-1536 Status of Small

Reactor Designs Without On-site

Refuelling

•TECDOC-1485 Status of Innovative Small and Medium

Sized Reactor Designs 2005:

Reactors with Conventional

Refuelling Schemes

•TECDOC-1391 Status of Advanced Light Water NPPs

Reports on Advanced NPP Designs (2/2)Reports on Advanced NPP Designs (2/2)

• TECDOCs needed to be revised and re-published as significant advances were made, for example,

in Design, Development, Certification; or new

designs were developed

• With ARIS, any Design Description can be easily updated whenever advances are made

All Design Descriptions are presented with All Design Descriptions are presented with

basically the same outline (ca. 20basically the same outline (ca. 20--40 pages)40 pages)**

1. Introduction

2. Description of the Nuclear Systems

3. Description of Safety Concept

4. Proliferation Resistance

5. Safety and Security (physical protection)

6. Description of Turbine-Generator Systems

7. Electrical and I&C Systems

8. Spent Fuel and Waste Management

9. Plant Layout

10. Plant Performance

11. Development Status of Technologies Relevant to the NPP

12. Deployment Status and Planned Schedule

13. References

IAEAIAEA’’s intent is to present balanced and s intent is to present balanced and

objective objective technicaltechnical informationinformation

• Design Descriptions are provided by Design Organizations• Then reviewed by IAEA• to identify technical items needing clarification• edited slightly • to remove overly commercial statements • (if necessary) to improve clarity and English • safety levels, costs, projected construction times & commercialization dates are presented as “goals” or

“claims” of the design organization – to be clear that

IAEA has not reviewed / endorsed these claims

• Design Descriptions are loaded onto ARIS following Design Organization’s clarification of technical questions and

concurrence with editing suggestions

ARIS can sort according to:

• Reactor Type (PWR, BWR, GCR, ....)• Coolant• Moderator• Spectrum (thermal, fast)• Thermal capacity (MWt)• Electrical capacity (MWe)• Design Status (e.g. conceptual, basic design, detailed design, site specific,...., under construction, etc -- IAEA

definitions are in ARIS)

• Non-electrical applications• Design Organization

Further development of ARISFurther development of ARIS

NEAR TERM - Expand the content of ARIS:

• Obtain Design Descriptions for advanced designs not yet in ARIS,review and load them into ARIS *

• Develop a “Current Trends” tab in ARIS – a summary overview of global development of advanced NPPs

CONTINUING:

• Maintain up-to-date Design Descriptions - Update appropriate sections of each Design Description as progress is made (in design, related R&D, certification, licensing, construction, etc) *

• Increase awareness of ARIS to support Technology Training and Education in Member States

LONGER TERM

• Examine how ARIS can be expanded to include more detailed information for “Technology Assessment and Selection”

* By IAEA’s Technical Officer working through “Design Description Contacts” at the Design Organizations


SummarySummary

• IAEA’s ARIS website provides technical design descriptions of advanced NPPs

• Descriptions of many designs are already available on ARIS

• Design Organizations which have SMR designs not yet in ARIS are encouraged

to contact IAEA’s Technical Officer [for

SMRs: M. Subki]
