The International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors
and Fuel Cycles (INPRO)
INT/4/142 Workshop on Long-rang Nuclear Energy Programme Planning and Strategy Development
June 2010
Peter J. GowinINPRO Programme Liaison Officer
Department of Nuclear Energy | International Atomic Energy Agency
IAEA
Motivation and Initial Goals
During the 90s• stagnation in nuclear power development, recognition of its
potential• among others: Three Agency Study, Millennium Summit• long-range and holistic planning are needed • innovations are key for sustainable nuclear future• international cooperation is an important way to success
IAEA 3
INPRO
• Origins• Established in 2000/2001• Authorized by IAEA General Conference resolutions
• Characteristics • Membership based • Funded mainly from extrabudgetary contributions • 10 to 15 staff (mainly CFEs from Member States) at IAEA
Headquarters• International Project inside IAEA• Cross-cutting with all relevant technical Departments involved
IAEA
Evolution of INPRO
IAEA 5
INPRO on the Policy Level• IAEA General Conference
• Resolutions adopted & continuously reiterated since 2000• G8 Summit
• Global Energy Security, St. Petersburg, 2006• “The development of innovative nuclear power systems is considered an
important element for efficient and safe nuclear energy development. In this respect, we acknowledge the efforts made in the complementary frameworks of the INPRO project and the Generation IV International Forum.”
IAEA 6
INPRO on the Policy Level• US–Russia Strategic Framework Declaration of US President George
W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin, 2008: • “The Russian Federation and the U.S. support the IAEA Project on
Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO) that has brought together both the states with developed nuclear technology and states running small-scale nuclear programmes or just developing plans for peaceful use of nuclear energy.”

IAEA 9
INPRO Programme Areas• A: INPRO Assessments
• To assist Member States in performing Nuclear Energy System Assessments (NESA) using the INPRO methodology, in support of long-term strategic planning and nuclear energy deployment decision making
• B: Global Vision• To develop global and regional nuclear energy scenarios, on the
basis of a scientific-technical pathway analysis, that lead to a global vision on sustainable nuclear energy development in the 21st century, and to support Member States in working towards that vision
IAEA 10
INPRO Programme Areas
• C: Innovations in Nuclear Technology• To foster collaboration among INPRO Member States on selected
innovative nuclear technologies and related R&D that contribute to sustainable nuclear energy
• D: Innovations in Institutional Arrangements• To investigate and foster collaboration on innovative institutional
and legal arrangements for the use of innovative nuclear systems in the 21st century and to support Member States in developing and implementing such innovative arrangements
IAEA 11
INPRO Programme Areas
• E: INPRO Dialogue Forum• To bring together technology holders and technology users to
discuss, debate and share information on desirable innovations, both technical and institutional, but also national long-term nuclear planning strategies and approaches and, on the highest level, the global nuclear energy system
• F: Policy Coordination, Communication, and Management• To plan and organize meetings of the Steering Committee and
coordinate policies with other international initiatives (e.g. GIF), but also to communicate and disseminate INPRO achievements and results to its stakeholders through publications and meetings/conferences

Global Vision and Scenarios
IAEA 17
Calculations / Example
• Interregional flows of uranium, fresh, spent and MOX fuel under ‘high’ scenario (2050)
IAEA 18
Transportable NPPs (TNPP)
• TNPP is a transportable and re-locatable nuclear power plant, which, when fuelled, is capable to produce final energy products like electricity or process heat
• A TNPP includes the nuclear reactor (with or without fuel) and the balance of the plant (e.g. steam generator, turbine) and fuel storage facilities if necessary
• A TNPP is physically transportable, but is not designed to produce energy during transportation nor provide energy for the transportation itself
IAEA 19
TNPP Technical Options
• Ways of Transportation• Water, railway, automobile
• Siting• Barge-mounted or ground-based
• Refueling scheme• Conventional or without on-site refueling
• Factory assembly • Reactor units to be delivered already assembled to the site
IAEA 20
INPRO / Holders and Users

technology holders and technology users
• This is one of the strengths of INPRO
• Plus: IAEA Member States• Participation through TC• Benefit from results• INPRO part of IAEA’s

R&D programmes• Need for long-range thinking and holistic view recognized and established• NESA and INPRO methodology available and tested
• Global process on building consensus on visions and scenarios for the global sustainability of nuclear energy in place• GAINS and other Collaborative Projects• Global vision modelling study• Consensus building
• Nuclear technology innovations• Note: GIF and IAEA programmes
IAEA
INPRO has achieved …• World leadership in addressing the need for institutional innovations needed to deploy the technology innovations• First study on transportable nuclear power plants• Consensus building
