| Abstract | Studies are currently on-going on the cycle performance of Generation IV (Gen IV) Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) for the purpose of determining optimum operating conditions for efficiency and economic reasons. For Gas-cooled Fast Reactors (GFRs) and Very-High Temperature Reactors (VHTRs), the cycle layout is predominantly driven by the choice of components, the component configuration and the coolant. The purpose of this paper to present and review the cycles currently being considered — the Simple Cycle Recuperated (SCR) and the Intercooled Cycle Recuperated (ICR). In all cases, the cycles utilise helium as the coolant in a closed Brayton gas turbine configuration. Comparisons between the cycles are made for Design Point (DP) and Off-Design Point (ODP) analyses to emphasise the benefits and drawbacks of each cycle. The paper also talks about future trends which include higher Core Outlet Temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Celsius and the proposal of a simplified cycle configuration which eliminates the need for the recuperator. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
