GIF carries out its mission through its Generation IV technology specific System Steering Committees and works on cross cutting and methodological matters through its Working Groups and Task Forces.
Get an overview of how Gen IV Nuclear Energy Systems are defined, what are the Generation IV criteria, which Nuclear Reactors Technologies were selected as capable of meeting those criteria and how this relates to the GIF Technology Roadmap (and its revisions).
Generation IV International Forum (GIF) was created as a co-operative international endeavour seeking to develop the research necessary to test the feasibility and performance of fourth generation nuclear systems, and to make them available for industrial deployment by 2030.

The Generation IV International Forum Research and Development Infrastructure Task Force (GIF RDTF) was created in 2018. It aimed to identify essential R&D facilities for Gen IV components and systems and promote their collaborative use among GIF partners. After fulfilling its mandate and publishing its final report, the Task Force was closed in 2021.
The Proliferation Resistance and Physical Protection Working Group (PRPPWG) was established to develop, implement, and foster the use of an evaluation methodology to assess Generation IV (Gen-IV) nuclear energy systems with respect to the GIF proliferation resistance (PR) and physical protection (PP) goal:“Generation IV nuclear energy systems will increase the assurance that they are very unattractive and the least desirable route for diversion or theft of weapons-usable materials and provide increased physical protection against acts of terrorism.”
GIF is initially a Research and Development (R&D) cooperation plateform driven by members states and their national laboratories.
