Gad-Briggs, Arnold2017-10-252017-10-252017-10-25Arnold Gad-Briggs. Addendum report: Detailed review of nuclear energy for generation IV nuclear power plants. Cranfield University, October 2017https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/12674The report is an addendum to the PhD thesis TERA of Gas Turbine High Temperature Reactor for Next Generation Nuclear Power Plants (Nov 2017). It provides a detailed review of current literature in the public domain, specifically relating to historic generations of plants as well as the technical factors concerned with operating cycles, working fluids, operational experience and plant control. The descriptions in this report supported the creation of a high fidelity conceptual tool to bridge the technical, economic and risk gaps in the Generation IV (Gen IV) framework in order to provide a method of evaluating Nuclear Power Plants (NPP).en© Cranfield University 2017.
