Approach - Global Vision
•• ScenariosScenarios assessed represent potential options in NE development, not predictions
• Purpose of the analysesof the analyses is to examine NE development pathways (Global evolution of nuclear fleet, FCs and material balances)
• Use of different modelingmodeling approachesapproaches, and in different depth.
• Consider changeschanges in the global NE systems: Different points of time in 21stC, technologies, regions, groups of countries
• Good cooperation with other IAEA programs

INPRO Collaborative Project
GAINSGlobal Architecture of INS Based on Thermal and Fast
Reactors Including a Closed Nuclear Fuel Cycle
(V. Usanov, H. Hayashi, P. Villalibre, G. Fesenko)
International Atomic Energy Agency4th GIF-INPRO Interface MeetingIAEA HQs, Vienna. 1-3 March, 2010

GAINS Purpose and Objectives
• Overall objective is to develop a framework (methodological platform of assumptions & boundary conditions) for analysing transition strategies to progressively move from present fleets to INS
• Motivation is to identify benefits encouraging implementation of transition options while minimizing financial, environmental, and political risks
• Global Nuclear Architecture • Sustainable development of NE within national
borders/resources requires multi-lateral cooperation• Countries have different Views on the optimal
arrangement of national NE while all need to use it in the most efficient and sustainable manner
International Atomic Energy Agency4th GIF-INPRO Interface MeetingIAEA HQs, Vienna. 1-3 March, 2010

Global consideration
• Scenario studies based only in ‘homogeneous modelling’ require simultaneous introduction of INS globally, which implies strong limitations
• GAINS uses ‘heterogeneous consideration’•• RealisticRealistic, as the nuclear FC technology options used
in different groups of countries will be different• Implementing different options need cooperation • Three groups of countries are defined
• NG1: to recycle used fuel• NG2: to either dispose used fuel, or reprocess abroad• NG3: to send used fuel abroad for either recycle or
disposal, or back-end strategy is undecided

GAINS Progress
• Selected the BaselinesBaselines for NE demand (global/regional)
• Developed pseudopseudo--regionalregional modelsmodels of “nuclear world”:• Homogeneous and heterogeneous approach (synergies)
• Identified sets of NESNES to cover the expected nuclear demand along the century
• Performed calculations/modellingcalculations/modelling for a range of demand scenarios and supply technologies
• Final publicationpublication still planned for 4Q-2010

Consideration on MNA
Multilateral approaches vs. national deployment• Significant improvement in assurance of fuel supply • Enhancement on NP capacity building• Reduction of SF burden and Pu accumulation • Cost reduction in the transition to future NES• For technology holders, market expansion reducing
ROI in RD&D• For technology users, reduction of RD&D ROI and
associated risks while increasing AFAS• Increased PR and benefits from economies of scale

Three main families of NES•U-Pu cycle in thermal spectrum reactors
• Low working inventory of fissile materials needed and thus facilitating FR park deployment
• Conversion ratio limited (higher depletion of nat fissile material resources)• Higher front-end FC services needs (higher environmental impact)• Limited potential for transuranics management
•U-Pu cycle in thermal & fast spectrum reactors• Fast spectrum reactors demand high fissile material working inventory,
limiting deployment rate• Though, high conversion ratios and even breeding possible• Strong reduction of front-end needs (less environmental impact)• Full transuranic management possible
•Thorium fuel cycle• Is complementary to uranium/plutonium fuel cycle as initiating and
deploying the Th-cycle demands for fissile material• Essentially extends natural resource base drastically, also through
allowing higher conversion fuel modes in reactors

Conclusions Global Growth
•Large expansion of NE will require challenging but feasible developments provided that financial and human resources are available.
•The required investments are high in nominal terms, but are estimated to represent less than 1% of the global BNP even for the High scenario.
•Once-through FC, even under “low” deployment scenarios, would cause complex problems of SF storage and disposal in addition to deployment of large enrichment capacities worldwide.
•Hence CFC-FR will be required if nuclear shall continue to play an important role beyond 2100.
•Delays in introduction of CFC would require considerable increase in Unat demand and enrichment capacities. A too long delay may jeopardise the capability of NE to fulfil its role as a future sustainable energy source for the world.

32
Conclusions Regional Scenarios
•Large global NE energy deployment would require all regions to develop a common strategic approach prior decision-making on NE deployment in the region
•An international framework is needed as NE development in each world region depends on the other regions
•Siting of nuclear facilities would require compromise solutions to be found by different regions to overcome additional difficulties from future needs, constraints, uncertainties and scale rather than on market competition
•Purely technological consideration of NE for regional deployment might produce plenty of solutions but would make it sub-optimal in view of the actual NE development possible in each region
