Title:     Dual Fluid Reactor, A New Concept of a Fast Nuclear Reactor

Abstract: The Dual Fluid Reactor (DFR) is a novel nuclear reactor concept based on the Generation IV Molten-Salt Reactor (MSR) concept and the liquid-metal cooled reactors (SFR, LFR) with the major improvement that the molten-salt fuel is not used as coolant but the heat is removed in a separate liquid-lead loop. It is a fast reactor, that consumes all fissionable materials like U233, U235, U238, Pu239, natural Thorium, etc. It has much simpler design, passive safety, and produces much less nuclear waste than currently used nuclear power reactors. It does not emit any radioactivity or green house gases during operation. It costs as much as a coal fired power station to construct and operate. There are more benefits that will be discussed in the talk.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk. This is an IEEE technical seminar.
