4. Regarding the design: a new context, new initial specifications
4.1 Iterations between the initial specifications and design evolution: the “conceptual design” phase
The design process begins with a functional and structural analysis of the system to be designed. This leads to the selection of components, their technology and sizing (in orders of magnitude), as well as the system’s architecture and balance. The design is determined by the alignment between available, proven technology and the priority requirements regarding efficiency, cost, and safety.
In the nuclear field, at least in the long term, the fuel cycle (resources, processes, waste, and resistance to proliferation) dictates strategic choices. Currently, this field is evolving and presenting new possibilities, new constraints, and new threats. Furthermore, advances...
