2.1 Towards a fourth generation of nuclear reactors
Given the decisive contribution that nuclear power can make in this context (starting with China and India, which account for 30% of the world's population), several frameworks have set out to define the nuclear systems that could be deployed worldwide by 2040 and contribute to a significant coverage of energy needs . The most dynamic of these is the Generation IV International Forum (GIF), launched in 2000 by the US Department of Energy (DOE). This forum now comprises eleven member countries, and France has been a very active...
