SSTAR: The US lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR)

TL;DR: This paper presents the motivation for development of internationally deployable nuclear energy systems as well as a summary of one such system, SSTAR, which is the US Generation IV lead-cooled fast reactor system.

Lead-cooled fast reactor (lfr) overview and perspectives

TL;DR: The lead-cooled fast Reactor (LFR) as discussed by the authors was proposed as a technology with great potential to meet the small-unit electricity needs of remote sites while also offering advantages as a large system for grid-connected power stations.
