DESCRIPTION:Securing energy supply is one of the grand challen
 ges we are facing today and it is difficult to env
 ision a plausible solution without nuclear power. 
 New nuclear power plant designs are expected to of
 fer improved characteristics with respect to safet
 y\, efficiency\, economics and waste management. E
 xamples of representative nuclear plants and syste
 ms addressing these requirements will be presented
 . \n\nIn the main part of his lecture\, Prof. Petr
 ovic will introduce a new reactor concept\, the In
 tegral Inherently Safe Light Water Reactor (I2S-LW
 R). This design concept employs a reactor configur
 ation with an integral primary circuit aiming to i
 mplement to a larger power reactor attractive inhe
 rent safety features usually associated with integ
 ral small modular reactors. This\, however\, neces
 sitates innovations in its safety approach\, devel
 opment of a novel fuel design\, as well as introdu
 cing novel technologies for primary circuit compon
 ents. I2S-LWR is being developed under a U.S. DOE 
 Integrated Research Project (IRP) research grant\,
  recently awarded to a multidisciplinary team of 1
 1 national and international organizations led by 
 Georgia Tech\, and including the University of Cam
 bridge.
