GIF has established a Steering Committee for the development of LFR, with participation of Euratom, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the United States. There are active and large development programs in Europe and Russia to develop project for the realization of Lead, individuated as the reference coolant option, and Lead-Bismuth, individuated as a backup option, systems. Sixteen European Organizations are collaborating together with two additional institutions from US and Korea to present to the European Commission the proposal for a Specific Targeted Research and Training Project (STREP). This project is devoted to the development of a European Lead-cooled System (ELSY). This system will constitute the larger lead-cooled reactor of GEN IV. ELSY aims to demonstrate the feasibility to design a competitive and safe fast power reactor which complies with al the GEN IV goals and gives assurance of investment protection. Russia joining GEN IV it is expected will strongly reinforce the international effort towards LFR development. In fact, Russia gained a unique practical experience in operation of reactors with lead-bismuth coolant that in total reaches the amount of 80 reactor-years. Eight reactors were installed in submarines of the former USSR Navy. Besides, two full scale reactor prototypes were constructed and operated in Obninsk and Sosnovy Bor. Further, a Pb-Bi loop were tes
