The IRIS (International Reactor Innovative and Secure) and its unique advancement of the state-of the art

The International Reactor Innovative and Secure (IRIS) is an advanced, light-water cooled reactor expected to be deployment-ready in 2015 - 2017. IRISpsila power rating (1000 MWt or 335 MWe) is particular suitable for developing countries and emerging markets with limited electric grid size and/or limited financial resources. IRIS has excellent capability to satisfy the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) requirements for smaller-scale grid-appropriate reactors in the near term, and provides a viable bridge to long-term Generation IV reactors.
