Today’s global energy market, places many demands on power generation technology including high thermal efficiency, low cost, rapid installation, reliability, environmental compliance, and operation flexibility.
The demand for clean, non-fossil based electricity is growing; therefore, the world needs to develop new nuclear reactors with higher thermal efficiency in order to increase electricity generation and decrease the detrimental effects on the environment. The current fleet of nuclear power plants is classified as Generation III or less. However, these models are not as energy efficient as they should be because the operating temperatures are relatively low. Currently, groups of countries have initiated an international collaboration to develop the next generation of nuclear reactors called Generation IV. The ultimate goal of developing such reactors is to increase the thermal efficiency from what currently is in the range of 30–35% to 45–50 %. This increase in thermal efficiency would result in a higher production of electricity compared to current Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) or Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) technologies.
