Collaborative Projects


INPRO Collaborative Projects - At a Glance

Twelve Collaborative Projects support work in the five main programme areas of INPRO. These collaborative projects were proposed by, and are carried out with active participation of INPRO Members.

Nuclear Energy System Assessments (NESA) using the INPRO Methodology

  • Proliferation Resistance: Acquisition/Diversion Pathway Analysis (PRADA)

  • Environmental Impact Benchmarking relative to an Innovative Nuclear System Component (ENV)

Global Vision on Sustainable Nuclear Energy

  • Global Architecture of Innovative Nuclear Systems based on Thermal and Fast Reactors including Closed Fuel Cycles (GAINS)

  • Fuel Cycles for Innovative Nuclear Systems through Integration of Technologies (FINITE)

  • Investigation of the 233U/Th Fuel Cycle (ThFC)

  • Meeting Energy Needs in the Period of Raw Materials Insufficiency during the 21st Century (RMI)

Innovations in Nuclear Technology

  • Investigation of Technological Challenges related to the Removal of Heat by Liquid Metal and Molten Salt Coolants from Reactor Cores Operating at High Temperatures (COOL)

  • Decay Heat Removal System for Liquid Metal Cooled Reactors (DHR)

  • Advanced Water Cooled Reactors (AWCR)

  • Performance Assessment of Passive Gaseous Provisions (PGAP)

  • Investigation of Safety Issues for Advanced High Temperature Reactors and their Combined Operation with Hydrogen Producing Plants (HTR H2)

Innovations in Institutional Arrangements
