GEN IV Webinar – EPRI Virtual Reality Training with Mr. Robert Eller

GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT September 27, 2023 Effective training for employees is an ongoing need for utilities, whether it is for new hires, or personnel changing jobs, new equipment and processes, or changes in the industry. Virtual Reality (VR) training is being used more prominently across many industries and has been shown in certain cases to improve results related to safety, quality, operations, and cost savings. This presentation will cover how we can use VR training in

2nd Molten Salt Bootcamp

University of California, Berkeley September 6-8, 2023 What to expect: Three days of lectures, discussions and hands-on activities on multi-disciplinary aspects of molten salt science and technology supported by world experts. Who should apply: Graduate students, postdocs and professionals with interest in molten salts. Previous experience is not necessary, but selected participants will be required to complete an introductory class ahead of the bootcamp. Agenda: Participants will work on group projects throughout the bootcamp to explore the concepts learnt.

GEN IV Webinar – Corrosion and Cracking of SCWR Materials

Corrosion And Cracking Of SCWR Materials With Dr. Lefu Zhang GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT August 31, 2023 Steam (with increased temperature and pressure) is always the challenge of power technology for high-efficiency production of electricity. Supercritical water fossil fired plants have been the mainstream for over 5 decades. A supercritical water cooled nuclear reactor (SCWR) concept has been selected by the Generation IV International Forum (GIF), but scientists and designers are facing unprecedented difficulties in solving the

GEN IV Webinar – Off-gas Xenon Detection and Management in Support of Molten Salt Reactors

Off-gas Xenon Detection and Management in Support of Molten Salt Reactors with Dr. Hunter Andrews and Dr. Praveen Thallapally GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT July 26, 2023 Many molten salt reactor designs involve the circulation of a cover gas to remove evolved fission products and maintain an inert atmosphere. The cover gas leaving the reactor core is expected to contain noble and non-noble gases, aerosols, volatile species, tritium, and other radionuclides. To remove these radioactive gases, developing a

GEN IV Webinar – Graphite-MOlten Salt Interactions Webinar

Graphite-Molten Salt Interactions with Dr. Nidia C Gallego GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT May 24, 2023 The new High Temperature Reactor (HTR) designs being considered for future Gen IV nuclear reactor deployment include designs utilizing molten salt as the primary coolant. These molten-salt cooled, graphite core designs pose new material compatibility challenges that are not considered within the gas-cooled HTR designs that have been previously built and operated. In MSRs, graphite is not only exposed to fast neutron
