PASCAR transportable capsule reactor
Historical 2008 transportable, modular, pool-type lead-bismuth fast-reactor concept, with 35 MWe and 100 MWth in the original NUTRECK/SNU table; gross/net basis is not specified. The companion Kyung Hee paper confirms the fast-reactor concept but has different core/fuel assumptions, which are not combined here. PASCAR is a smaller capsule derivative of PEACER, not an alias for PEACER-300. No current development, deployment or licence is established.
Catalogue identity snapshot: 2008-05 (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.
