Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) is the only water-cooled reactor among the six Generation IV reactor concepts. It is the logical evolution of the current Light Water-cooled Reactor (LWR) as it follows the historical development of fossil fuel-fired power plant, which has been operating at the supercritical pressure of water since 1970s. The SCWR plant concept may be characterized by...
