DESCRIPTION:Lead-cooled Fast Reactor – Paolo Ferroni\, Westinghouse\n \nTuesday 27th October\, 1-2pm\nThe Westinghouse Electric Company\, a world leader in the development and commercialization of nuclear power plants\, is developing a next-generation\, medium-capacity nuclear power plant based on lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) technology. The Westinghouse LFR is a ~450 MWe\, highly simplified\, passively safe\, compact and scalable reactor plant. The talk will be delivered by Dr Paolo Ferroni\, the Westinghouse Lead Fast Reactor Technical Lead within Advanced Reactor Development. \nRegistration\nRegistration and hosting of the webinar is via the Institute of Physics. \n[button link="https://www.events.iop.org/lead-cooled-fast-reactor" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nAdvanced Modular Reactor Webinar Series\nThe UK Government has recently announced a £40m investment to bring forward next generation nuclear energy technology. These “Advanced Modular Reactors” (AMRs) have the potential to unlock new applications for nuclear technology in the carbon-neutral economy of the future – going beyond grid electricity to include the supply of heat\, production of Hydrogen\, power to communities and industries in remote parts of the world and supporting intermittent renewable supply by storing energy. \nIn this series of Webinars we will hear from the companies developing the technology – the three projects selected for BEIS funding and Moltex Energy who are forging ahead with first deployment in Canada. \nYou can register for the other webinars in this series via our events listing: southwestnuclearhub.ac.uk/events

SUMMARY:Advanced Modular Reactor Webinar Series: Spherical Tokamaks
DESCRIPTION:Compact Spherical Tokamak – Rob Slade\, Tokamak Energy\n \nMonday 19th October\, 1-2pm\nTokamak Energy is aiming to change the way the world generates power by developing a scalable fusion solution that will give the world an attractive new base-load power source that is plentiful\, safe\, cost effective\, secure and clean. Their target is to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion as an energy source by 2030. Rob Slade\, Director of Technology Development\, will give a talk on the ST-F1 with a focus on the high temperature superconducting magnet technology. \nRob Slade\, Director\, Technology Development\, Tokamak Energy\nAfter receiving a degree in Physics from Bristol University in 1986\, Rob started work at Rolls Royce developing gas turbine instrumentation. An interest in electromagnetics led to employment at Oxford Instruments developing downhole NMR instruments using permanent magnets\, then high field NMR using superconducting magnets and dynamic nuclear hyperpolarization methods. \nAfter a spell a Siemens Magnet Technology developing whole body MRI\, he moved to New Zealand where he developed an extremity MRI scanner using High Temperature Superconducting coil technology. In 2016 he returned to the UK to develop HTS magnet technology for plasma confinement in fusion devices. \nRegistration\nRegistration and hosting of the webinar is via the Institute of Physics. \n[button link="https://www.events.iop.org/compact-spherical-tokamak" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nAdvanced Modular Reactor Webinar Series\nThe UK Government has recently announced a £40m investment to bring forward next generation nuclear energy technology.

SUMMARY:Advanced Modular Reactor Webinar Series: Stable Salt Reactors
DESCRIPTION:Stable Salt Reactors – Dr Ian Scott\, Moltex Energy\n \nWednesday 7th October\, 12.30-1.30pm\nMoltex Energy are developing an inherently safe Stable Salt Reactor (SSR) which aims to provide carbon-free electricity generation technology with low upfront costs and reliable\, large-scale power at 300-500 MW per reactor unit. In addition to the ability to store energy for release in times of high energy demand\, the technology can recycle nuclear waste as fuel\, operate at high temperature to produce Hydrogen and use Thorium as an alternative to Urainium. The talk will be delivered by Moltex Chairman & Chief Scientist Ian Scott. \nSpeaker biography\nIan went to Cambridge University to study nuclear physics\, but was seduced during his first year by the excitement of the fast moving biological sciences and made his first career in that field. He became one of the four Chief Scientists in Unilever’s international organisation\, leading the global bioscience program before leaving to found an entrepreneurial drug discovery company. \nIn 2012 he became bemused by how nuclear energy had gone from being "too cheap to meter" to too expensive to afford and determined to try to remedy that flaw which was preventing nuclear energy making any meaningful contribution to fighting the climate change crisis. The result was his invention of the Stable Salt Reactor and the creation of Moltex Energy. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration and hosting of the webinar is via the Institute of Physics. \n[button link="https://www.events.iop.org/stable-salt-reactor" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nAdvanced Modular Reactor Webinar Series\nThe UK Government has recently announced a £40m investment to bring forward next generation nuclear energy technology.

SUMMARY:Breeder Blanket Design in Fusion Reactors: Innovations and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:IDOM has been contracted by UKAEA to develop a novel breeder blanket design concept to be used in the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) Fusion Power Plant. The STEP programme aims at accelerating the delivery of sustainable fusion energy thus\, IDOM’s task was to develop an innovative conceptual design for a breeder blanket that is overcoming the various challenges facing the existing breeder blankets’ designs. \nIn this webinar\, the speakers will give an overview of IDOM capabilities and experience in Fusion Energy\, introduce the breeder blanket technology and working principals. Then\, the speakers will talk more specifically about their recent experience and involvement in the STEP project explaining the methodology adopted to develop the breeder blanket conceptual design proposal for the STEP programme. \nCredit: EUROfusion\nThis methodology involved conducting a series of analyses on different breeder blanket designs covering the material properties and their compatibility\, the design configuration\, the neutronics analysis\, the thermal-hydraulics analysis\, a preliminary structural analysis\, safety aspects\, and waste segregation and disposal. These analyses were conducted to identify the design features and constraints of each of those designs and to understand the challenges facing them to be able to come up with an innovative conceptual design proposal that combines the advantages and overcomes the challenges. \nSpeakers\n  \nFrancisco Calvo  -Project Manager in IDOM's Nuclear Department\, mainly working on projects related to advanced mechanical design and computational analysis. \nSergio Sádaba -  Technical Specialist in IDOM's  Nuclear Department responsible for design-by-analysis in thermo-mechanical components. \nJorge Fradera - Nuclear Engineer at IDOM. He is a senior nuclear analyst\, tritium expert\, CFD specialist\, scientific applications programmer and fusion technology developer. \n\nRegistration\nPlease register via the Institute of Physics. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=971035&eventID=1533&CSPCHD=001001000000mpeUf191iYOK2rikbLluYjTTlUxWI7inZrwFhk" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\n
