The supercritical water reactor (SCWR) is a concept Generation IV reactor, mostly designed as light water reactor (LWR) that operates at supercritical pressure (i.e. greater than 22.1 MPa). The term ...

Supercritical-Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) are high temperature, high-pressure, light-water-cooled reactors that operate above the thermodynamic critical point of water (374°C, 22.1 MPa). The reactor ...

Water cooled reactors have played a significant role in the commercial nuclear industry since its beginnings and currently account for more than 95 per cent of all operating civilian power reactors in ...

Regarding Generation IV reactors, our research is directed at Liquid Metal Fast Reactors (LMFRs, e.g., SFR and LFR) to study cover-gas region aerosol dynamics, stratification and stagnation and ...
