Generation IV nuclear reactors are those identified by the Generation IV International Forum, which was initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy and has 10 international member countries. Most Gen IV reactors are in the conceptual or experimental stage and are considered deployable around 2030, provided that appropriate development begin now. The Department of Energy document "Overview of Generation IV Technology Roadmap" from September 2002 contains diagrams of six Gen IV reactors.
