The Wiki-INPRO (under development)

The International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO) was established in 2000 to help ensure that nuclear energy is available to contribute to meeting the energy needs of the 21st century in a sustainable manner.

This Wiki is an initial attempt to formulate in a structured manner the accumulated experience and knowledge on the concepts, ideas, and methodology relevant to the INPRO domain.

The content of the Wiki is an opinion of the expert community and does not represent the official position of the IAEA, unless explicitly mentioned or referenced from a relevant IAEA publication.

INPRO developed a set of basic principles, user requirements and criteria, together with an assessment method, which constitute the INPRO methodology, for the evaluation of a national or global nuclear energy system (NES) with regard to its long term sustainability. Please see the Wiki-INPRO-methodology.

INPRO methodology has been applied several times to the nuclear energy systems based on evolutionary water cooled reactors, as well as sodium cooled fast reactors. The NESA of Belarus can be seen in INPRO Assessment of the Planned Nuclear Energy System of Belarus, and the NESA of BN-1200 can be seen in Limited Scope Sustainability Assessment of Planned Nuclear Energy Systems Based on BN-1200 Fast Reactors.

INPRO also developed a service bringing together several methods, approaches and tools developed within the previous INPRO collaborative projects. Please see the Wiki-ASENES.
