21. Small Modular Reactors: A Paradigm Shift in Nuclear Technology? (S3T1)

A. Pautz (PSI)

26/09/2024, 09:00

Advanced nuclear reactors with rated electric power of less than 300 MW are commonly referred to as Small Modular Reactors (SMR); for power levels even below 20 MW, the term “Microreactors” has been established. The recently returning appeal of this class of reactors stems from the believe that the “economy-of-scale”, which had long been dominating the nuclear market and clearly favoured the...

22. ISAS Project (S3T2)

J. D´Hondt (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)

With the ambition to maintain competitiveness of European accelerator-based research infrastructures, the Horizon Europe project Innovate for Sustainable Accelerating Systems (iSAS) has the objective to develop, prototype and validate new impactful energy-saving technologies so that SRF accelerators use significantly less energy while providing the same, or even improved, performance. With 17...
