Astrid; Advanced Sodium Technological Reactor for Industrial Demonstration

Prototype project for a 4th generation French nuclear reactor, of the sodium-cooled fast reactor type, supported by the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA).

DEMO ; DEMOnstration Power Plant

Project for a tokamak-type magnetic confinement fusion nuclear reactor that should demonstrate the feasibility of producing electricity by 2050. The reactor will also be used to test components that have never been tested before, such as tritiated blankets. This project will be the successor to the ITER experimental nuclear fusion reactor.

ITER; International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor

Project for a tokamak-type civil research reactor using magnetic confinement technology,...
