Recently, a group of countries has initiated an international collaboration, the Generation IV International Forum (GIF), to develop the next-generation nuclear reactors. The GIF program has narrowed the design options of nuclear reactors to the following six concepts: 1) SuperCritical-Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR); 2) Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR); 3) Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR); 4) Molten Salt Reactor (MSR); 5) Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (GFR); and 6) Very-High-Temperature Reactor (VHTR); The purpose of this paper is to compare main thermophysical, corrosion, and neutronic properties of the Generation-IV reactors’ coolants within the proposed range of operation.

Generation IV nuclear reactors will not be implemented unless they enable lower production costs than with the current systems. In such a context a techno-economic optimization method was developed and then applied to the power conversion system of a very high temperature reactor. Techno-economic optimization consists in minimizing an objective function that depends on technical variables and economic ones. The advantage of the techno-economic optimization is that it can take into account both investment costs and operating costs. A techno-economic model was implemented in a specific optimization software named Vizir, which is based on genetic algorithms. The calculation of the thermodynamic cycle is performed by a software named Tugaz. The results are the values of the decision variables that lead to a minimum cost, according to the model. The total production cost is evaluated. The influence of the various variables and constraints is also pointed out.
