CLEAR-M10
The GIF 2020 report describes INEST/FDS’s CLEAR-M10 as a small modular energy-supply concept in the Chinese lead-based fast-reactor programme. Its 10 MW-grade description does not state whether that figure is electrical or thermal; neither rating is assigned. The source does not resolve pure lead versus lead-bismuth coolant. This concept is distinct from the CLEAR-I accelerator-driven research reactor, CLEAR-S engineering facility, CLEAR-0 zero-power assembly and CLEAR-V virtual system. No named deployment, current availability or permission is established.
Catalogue identity snapshot: 2020 (dated technical description; not confirmation of current development or availability). Later technical descriptions, where recorded, are dated separately below. Source review does not establish current availability or a deployment.
