In November 2024, in Petten (The Netherlands), I reconvened the GEMINI 4.0 consortium to share the progress made toward achieving the objectives of our GEMINI 4.0 project: confirming that a GEMINI+ system can safely and efficiently decarbonize various industrial activities through nuclear cogeneration of process steam, electricity, and hydrogen at the required large scale. The meeting was hosted by the
GEMINI 4.0 Summer School 2024: Uniting Industry and Academia on High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) Technology. From September 24 to 26, 2024, the GEMINI 4.0 Summer School brought together students, young engineers, and industry representatives to explore High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) technology, marking the first European Summer School to include industry participation. This event provided a comprehensive overview of HTGR’s
In collaboration with the GEMINI+ project and ALLEGRO project, the PHD4GEN High Tempearture Reactors Summer School took place online from 1-5 June 2020. The School gathered several dozen of students who had the possibility to attend a total of 23 lectures dedicated to HTGR technologies and Generation IV reactors. First of all, a welcome speech was given by Professor Grzegorz Wrochna,
In collaboration with the GEMINI+ project, the PHD4GEN High Tempearture Reactors Summer School will be organised from 1-5 June 2020, in Kazimierz Dolny (Poland). Due to the current situation, the School can be fully attended remotely. The aim of this School is to present the current status of the Generation IV reactors under study of the program “New reactor concepts and

In the framework of the GEMINI+ project, a 5-day joint workshop took place in Swierk (Otwock – Poland) from 30 January to 5 February 2020. Organised by NUCLIC and NCBJ, this workshop gathered 10 participants and was dedicated to the improvement of HTGR neutronics modelling. Participants used the SERPENT computer code to perform neutronics calculations on increasingly complicated HTGR models, which are
