GIF Annual Report Was in 2017 GIF 2019 AnnualGIF 2019 Report ANNUAL REPORT 2019 THE GENERATION IV INTERNATIONAL FORUM Established in 2001, the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) was created as a co-operative international endeavour seeking to develop the research necessary to test the feasibility and performance of fourth generation nuclear systems, and to make them available for industrial deployment by 2030. The GIF brings together 13 countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Japan, Korea, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States), as well as Euratom – representing the 28 European Union members − to co-ordinate research and development on these systems. The GIF has selected six reactor technologies for further research and development: the gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR), the lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR), the molten salt reactor (MSR), the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), the supercritical-water-cooled reactor (SCWR) and the very- high-temperature reactor (VHTR). NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) was established on 1 February 1958. Current NEA membership consists of 33 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Korea, Romania, Russia, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency also take part in the work of the Agency. The mission of the NEA is: – to assist its member countries in maintaining and further developing, through international co-operation, the scientific, technological and legal bases required for a safe, environmentally sound and economical use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes; – to provide authoritative assessments and to forge common understandings on key issues as input to government decisions on nuclear energy policy and to broader OECD analyses in areas such as energy and the sustainable development of low-carbon economies. Specific areas of competence of the NEA include the safety and regulation of nuclear activities, radioactive waste management and decommissioning, radiological protection, nuclear science, economic and technical analyses of the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear law and liability, and public information. The NEA Data Bank provides nuclear data and computer program services for participating countries. The Nuclear Energy Agency serves as technical secretariat to GIF. FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIR Foreword from the Chair It is a great honor for me to pen this foreword to our Annual Report about the progress of Generation IV reactor systems and collaborations on the developments. The Gen-IV reactor systems are the next generation for the sustainable use of nuclear energy from the current light water reactors of Generation III or III+. Since 2001, the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) promotes international R&D collaboration for the development of six types of Gen-IV reactor systems, using sodium, lead, gas, molten salt, and supercritical water. With the right level of international policy support, and ambitious R&D funding, the objective is to reach commercial deployment of the most advanced systems from the 2030s onwards. These systems follow common development goals: safety and economics are two key goals together with sustainability and proliferation resistance and physical protection, which are principles followed by GIF since the beginning. Today, the relevance of these goals remains essential to achieve breakthrough in nuclear energy. I am the sixth Chair in the 20 years of GIF history since January 2019, succeeding Mr François Gauché of France. GIF directions were set in 2019 as follows: “We have roadmaps to develop Gen-IV reactor systems and methodologies to assess their compliance to the GIF goals. We will also need to show how these advanced nuclear technologies can integrate into and support future clean energy systems.” Current priorities of GIF are: 1) Safety and regulation: Continue the development of international safety design criteria to facilitate future licensing activities; 2) Market opportunity and challenges: Integration of Gen-IV systems (flexibility, economics) and renewable energy systems in clean energy systems; 3) R&D collaboration: Enhancement of international R&D collaboration; 4) Attracting the young generation. These priorities are led by our three outstanding vice chairs; Ms Alice Caponiti (United States) for safety and regulation, Mr Sylvestre Pivet (France) for market opportunity and challenges, and Mr Jong Hyuk Baek (Korea) for R&D collaboration. Given the importance of international safety standards for the licensing of Gen-IV reactor designs, GIF has developed Safety Design Criteria and Guidelines. To take this work further, GIF is also engaging with the nuclear safety community at the international level (with the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency [NEA] and the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA]). For example, risk-informed and performance-based approaches, reduction of emergency planning zones (EPZ) for small modular reactors (SMRs) discussed at the IAEA are great concerns to GIF about the early deployment of Gen-IV reactors. GIF is also convinced that stronger co-operation is needed between R&D bodies and the private sector. This is especially important in order to integrate future market opportunities and constraints at the design stage. On this point, a significant value of the Gen-IV systems is to contribute to the reliable clean energy systems through new sources of flexibility. Higher temperatures of sodium, lead, or gas allow coupling of electricity production with heat storage or hydrogen production as part of a hybrid energy system. Some Gen-IV systems could broaden the flexibility of existing nuclear reactors, for instance load-following capabilities. GIF 2019 ANNUAL REPORT, NEA No. 7527, © OECD 2020 3 FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIR Especially from the GIF directions, we will show GIF outputs to the world, policy makers, and industries more than before in order to promote the opinions to make progress with the Gen-IV reactor systems in difficult and complex energy market situations, expanding renewable energies, concerns for safety after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident (1F accident), and the increasing violent weather issues coming caused by global warming. We had several opportunities to express our opinions and results to the world. The CEM10 side event of nice future initiative in Vancouver, Canada was a good Dr Hideki Kamide, GIF Chair, representing GIF at the 10th Clean occasion for GIF. We also joined the IAEA Energy Ministerial (CEM 10) in Vancouver, Canada in May 2019 worldwide meeting of “Climate change and Role of Nuclear Power” in Vienna and gave a keynote presentation. In parallel to these world conferences, GIF had several workshops with private sectors, the GIF meeting in Canada in May 2019, the GIF meeting in China in October 2019, and also in Paris in February 2020 to identify collaborations on promoting the Gen-IV reactor developments and deployments including SMRs. I believe that these workshops will contribute to the higher opportunity of Gen-IV reactors in the energy market. This annual report covers our overall activities in 2019 about six reactor systems and also cross-cutting issues of Task Forces and Working Groups. I expect that this annual report is meaningful for all of readers to refer our GIF activities and to find a good relation and collaboration with us. Hideki Kamide GIF Chair 4 GIF 2019 ANNUAL REPORT, NEA No. 7527, © OECD 2020 FOREWORD FROM THE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Foreword from the Technical Director It is a pleasure and a big responsibility to serve the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) as Technical Director. In 2019 a big change in all the GIF Organization occurred. I am taking this opportunity to thank and to send my regards to the previous team. This new Governance Structure is facing new challenges and has to define new horizons. Indeed, Generation IV International Forum will be 20 years old soon (in 2020). For the GIF organization, it is the right time to review its objectives in the new context of a deregulated energy market and a decarbonized future society. GIF has become an unavoidable organization for people concerned by Gen-IV reactors systems and their related safety, economics and Proliferation Resistance & Physical Protection (PR&PP) items. The key position of systems must be pursued and reassessed, under the prism of the new economy market, the future energy mix, and the transition towards a low-carbon society. The six Gen-IV systems have significant assets to be part of this new energy paradigm. And it is important to highlight the GIF systems coherence in the energy mix through their flexibility and load following; their ability to ensure energy cogeneration (e.g. heat, desalination) and/or a coupling with large-scale energy storage (hydrogen); their deployment flexibility (large – small or micro-scale reactors, small modular reactor type), their siting adaptability. Thus, it is important to pursue the involvement in these reactor systems, and also to confirm the key role of cross-cutting working groups in main domains: Safety and PR&PP, Economy and Market, Market Opportunities, vision from Industrials, compatibility with renewables, and also future innovative techniques deployable to nuclear systems.

    Le 15/05/2018 Communiqué de presse IMT Atlantique, Orano, Naval Group et l’IRSN reconduisent la chaire RESOH avec l’Andra pour nouveau partenaire Lancée en 2012, par IMT Atlantique et ses trois partenaires Orano, Naval Group et l’IRSN, la chaire de recherche et d’enseignement RESOH « REcherche en Sûreté Organisation Hommes » constitue une démarche innovante. Elle réunit des exploitants du nucléaire et l’institut d’expertise d’appui de l’Autorité de sûreté autour d’une volonté commune de réfléchir et d’agir au service d’une performance industrielle « sûre ». La convention signée au début de l’année 2018 reconduit la chaire RESOH jusqu’en octobre 2022 et marque l’arrivée d’un nouveau partenaire, l’Andra (Agence nationale pour la gestion des déchets radioactifs). La chaire RESOH-2 s’appuiera sur les acquis et l’originalité de RESOH-1, qui a permis d’initier des collaborations inédites en matière de recherche et des discussions entre les acteurs de la sûreté nucléaire. Ce projet met l’accent sur les relations inter-organisationnelles et marque la volonté de ne pas isoler la sûreté nucléaire des autres formes de performance industrielle, faisant ainsi émerger le concept de « performance industrielle sûre ». RESOH-2 reprend et approfondit les 3 axes de recherche initialement définis, avec la volonté de renforcer les liens transversaux entre ces différents domaines : • Gestion des projets complexes, • Pilotage de la valeur des relations de sous-traitance (engagements contractuels, travailler ensemble). • Relations contrôleur-contrôlé et gestion de l’équilibre entre sécurité réglée et sécurité gérée. Cette seconde étape est aussi l’occasion de capitaliser sur la connaissance des sites des partenaires industriels et de valider l’investissement de terrain effectué pour appréhender la complexité d’équipements tels que La Hague, le chantier de construction des sous-marins nucléaires d’attaque de classe Barracuda, ou des activités d’expertise de l’IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire).

  • From Meltdown to Showdown? Challenges and Options for Governance in the Arctic
    PRIF-Report No. 113 From Meltdown to Showdown? Challenges and options for governance in the Arctic Christoph Humrich/Klaus Dieter Wolf Translation: Matthew Harris Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2012 Correspondence to: PRIF (HSFK) Baseler Straße 27-31 60329 Frankfurt am Main Germany Telephone: +49(0)69 95 91 04-0 Fax: +49(0)69 55 84 81 E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Internet: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-942532-41-9 Euro 10,– Summary Over the past few years the Arctic has become the object of intense political interest. Three interacting developments created this interest: first, climate change which is caus- ing the polar ice cap to melt is creating new opportunities and risks. While huge areas open up to resource development, this seems at the same time to also cause new geo- strategic confrontation. The second development is economic change. In Russia, Green- land, Norway and Alaska, economic well-being is highly dependent upon the exploitation of natural resources. Because on the one hand export revenues are rising for natural re- sources and on the other already developed sources further south have transgressed their exploitation peak, the economies of these countries drive them up North into the high Arctic. Thirdly, there has been legal change. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) provides a legal framework for exploiting continental shelf re- sources. The Arctic states can and must assert their claims now. Contrary to all alarmist pronouncements, however, the process of delimiting the boundaries of the continental shelf is proceeding in a relatively orderly manner .

  • Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim
    Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim Beyond Art and Politics from a Comparative Perspective a Comparative from Art and Politics Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim This book brings together experts from different fields of study, including sociology, anthropology, art history Art and Politics from a Comparative Perspective and art criticism to share their research and direct experience on the topic of art and politics. How art and politics relate with each other can be studied from numerous perspectives and standpoints. The book is structured according to three main themes: Part 1, on Valuing Art, broadly concerns the question of who, how and what value is given to art, and how this may change over time and circumstance, depending on the social and political situation and motivation of different interest groups. Part 2, on Artistic Political Engagement, reflects on another dimension of art and politics, that of how artists may be intentionally engaged with politics, either via their social and political status and/or through the kind of art they produce and how they frame it in terms of meaning. Part 3, on Exhibitions and Curating, focuses on yet another aspect of the relationship between art and politics: what gets exhibited, why, how, and with what political significance or consequence. A main focus is on the politics of art in the Basque Country, complemented by case studies and reflections from other parts of the world, both in the past and today. This book is unique by gathering a rich variety of different viewpoints and experiences, with artists, curators, art historians, sociologists and anthropologists talking to each other with sometimes quite different epistemological bases and methodological approaches.
