FR21
China - fast plans
The FR22 International Conference on Fast Reactors and Associated Fuel Cycles was held at the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna from 19 to 22 April 2022.
Yang Hongyi from China Atomic Energy Institute CIAE gave a presentation on the current state of China fast program.
At present, PWR light water reactors are the backbone of China nuclear power industry. At the next stage of development, fast reactors should appear in the country, and fusion energy will become the third stage. In parallel with the development of reactor technologies, the development of the necessary fuel cycles is underway.
The tasks of fast reactors in China include increasing the efficiency of using uranium resources and transmuting...

FR22 has completed its work
The International Conference on Fast Reactors and Related Fuel Cycles: Sustainable Clean Energy for the Future (FR22) concluded its work at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna on Friday.
At the final meeting, the organizers summed up the qualitative and quantitative results of the conference.
The conference was attended by 470 officially designated participants and 210 observers. The total number of contributors was 365.
The FR22 conference was the fourth in a row, and representatives of 35 countries took part in it. This is a record figure for the entire time of FR conferences, which indicates the growing interest in the world in the topic of fast reactors and closed nuclear fuel cycles.
International Conference on Fast Reactors and Related Fuel Cycles: Sustainable Clean Energy for the Future (FR22) is started in Vienna
Vladimir Kriventsev: FR21 provides excellent opportunities
The International Atomic Energy Agency brings together the fast reactor and related fuel cycle community and countries and the wider public interested in these technologies by organising the International Conference on Fast Reactors and Related Fuel Cycles: Sustainable Clean Energy for the Future or FR21.
The Peoples Republic of China will host the conference via the China Institute for Atomic Energy, and it will take place from 10 to 13 May 2021.
The IAEA invited experts from countries with fast reactor programs and relevant international organisations to join the FR21 International Advisory Committee or IAC.
The IAC developed recommendations to the IAEA on conference topics and the central theme. It first met in June this year.
The IAC also proposed candidates for the International Scientific Programme Committee or ISPC. The ISPC will review and select abstracts and papers and shape the programme of the conference.
