Power Reactors and Sub-Critical Blanket Systems with Lead and Lead-Bismuth as Coolant and/or Target Material

This publication summarizes the results of the IAEA Advisory Group Meeting (AGM) on "Design and Performance of Reactor and Sub-critical Blanket Systems with Lead and Lead-bismuth as Coolant and/or Target Material". Its purpose was to provide a forum for international information exchange on all the topics relevant to lead and lead-bismuth eutectic cooled critical and subcritical reactors. In addition, the AGM aimed at: (1) finding ways and means to improve international coordination efforts in this area; (2) obtaining advice from Member States with regard to the activities to be implemented in this area by the IAEA, in order to best meet their needs; and (3) laying out plans for effective coordination and support of the R&D activities in this area.
