An FR with an S-CO2 gas turbine achieves higher cycle efficiency than conventional Na-cooled FRs with steam turbines, eliminating conventional FRs’ problems related to safety, plant maintenance, and construction costs.3 The S-CO2 FR consumes, as fuel, the MA elements produced in the LWRs for the small fast reactors; furthermore, it reduces long- lived radioactive wastes and environmental loads of long- term geological disposal. Waste heat from the S-CO2 FR is recovered by a new waste-heat recovery system4; it is stored chemically as methane and methanol for use as fuel for gas turbines, automobiles, and fuel cells through high- temperature fermentation of garbage, woody wastes, and waste paper, which are produced in urban centers, along with excreta produced by farming activities. The waste-heat recovery and utilization result for the overall energy utilization efficiency is greater than 85%, saving energy resources and reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. Consumption of waste products of cities and farms for methane and methanol production fosters a recycling society. Compact and high-performance microchannel heat exchangers are used in the S-CO2 FR, the new waste-heat recovery system and the high-temperature fermentation system, as described below.

About 85% of core- generated energy could be used as electricity and heat if the waste heat were recovered and used economically. This would contribute more than current LWRs to reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions per unit electricity generation by a factor of 2.5 and reduce the accumulation of long-half-life radioactive materials, while simultaneously increasing uranium resource utilization. In fast reactors, minor actinide (MA) elements produced in LWRs, which are long-lived radioactive wastes and which require geological disposal, are useful as fuel by taking advantage of a harder neutron spectrum. The S-CO2 FR can thereby allay anxieties related to such wastes. The recovered waste heat from the S-CO FRs is used to 2 generate methane and methanol from human and animal wastes produced in cities and farms through bioconversion processes.2 Methane and methanol are useful as fuels in fuel cells, automobiles, and gas turbine power generation plants. Heat demand changes according to the time, season and region. Fluctuating heat demand can be addressed because methane and methanol can be transported and stored more easily than heat.
