HeFASTo
Advanced Nuclear Reactor for Industrial Heat Production and Fuel Recycling
HeFASTo is a concept of a small modular reactor based on the Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) technology. In UJV Group, it follows a long-term program in GENIV development and GFR R&D for the project of a GFR demonstrator named ALLEGRO.
Who Develops HeFASTo
HeFASTo is a R&D project of ÚJV Řež, a. s., under the responsibility of Division of Nuclear Safety and Reliability. Technology development has been done by the GENIV R&D Group of the Division.
The GFR technology R&D has a tradition of more than 10 years in ÚJV Řež. Since 2012, we have been a full member of V4G4 Center of Excellence consortium, which is responsible for the development of a GFR technology demonstrator ALLEGRO.
In 2018, the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic recognized, under one of its program calls, fast reactors as one of the priorities of national nuclear R&D.
Currently, ÚJV Řež is active in 7 national and 3 international R&D projects dedicated to GFR, leading a significant portion of them.
