title = "Generation IV material issues",
abstract = "Generation IV nuclear power concepts have become an active research topic all over the world during the last 5-10 years. There are six concepts accepted for the GenIV international forum (GIF) with the common aims to promote both efficiency and safety of the technology. Moreover, the issues of uranium sources and the use of closed fuel cycles are included in the discussions and concepts. Thus the new concepts will offer attractive features but at the same time they also bring new and demanding challenges for the materials technology due to increased operating temperatures and irradiation doses as well as more aggressive coolants and or longer life time expectations than operated today. In this paper an overview of the material issues is given with special emphasis on one of the concepts, super critical light water reactor concept.",
