"It can be used for poor countries where there are communities without electricity." Researchers develop innovative method to ...

Without that pressure, the water evaporates, and reactor fuel could overheat and suffer a meltdown. Using molten salt prevents radioactive sludge from leaking because the boiling point of salt is ...

Similar to TerraPower, Kairos' reactor operates at near atmospheric pressure using molten fluoride salt instead of water as coolant. Like X-Energy, Kairos uses fuel that encases uranium kernels in ...

who co-invented the pressurized water reactor (water-cooled reactor run at high pressure), which is at the heart of two-thirds of the nuclear power plants operating in the world today. ORNL ...

Hydraulic pressure testing has been completed on the reactor pressure ... The CAP1400 is an enlarged version of the AP1000 pressurized water reactor developed from the Westinghouse original by State ...

The miniaturization of a powerful source of energy is already underway, and it will be safer and cheaper than traditional ...

typically at or close to atmospheric pressure, unlike water-cooled reactors One MSR design simply replaces water with molten salt, circulating the molten salt through the fuel to remove the heat ...

Taking inspiration from how nature — including lightning — produces ammonia, a UB-led team has developed a reactor that produces the chemical commodity from nitrogen in the air and water ... a ...

The top lid of the reactor pressure vessel, which had contained ... The No. 1 and No. 2 reactors of the Hamaoka plant both use boiling water mechanisms for electricity production.

Societa Gestione Impianti Nucleari SpA has begun the process of dismantling the pressure vessel of the boiling water reactor, which the company says is the most complex dismantling activity in the ...

Taking inspiration from how nature —including lightning — produces ammonia, a team led by the University at Buffalo has developed a reactor that produces the chemical commodity from nitrogen in the ...
