What if the next big thing in nuclear energy was a dusty old idea from the Cold War era? Once considered to power nuclear ...

Commonly volumes are 16 ml, 25 ml, and 50 ml reactors, all stirred and with separate temperature control. Larger volumes, up to 500 ml are available. High Pressure and Vacuum Systems Each reactor can ...

China has once again beat everyone else to a clean energy milestone—its new nuclear reactor is reportedly one of the first to ...

If the reactor were real, the pressure vessel would weigh as much as two 747 jets! Despite the high-tech, the business end is a conventional steam generator. The only difference is that the steam ...

They used declassified US documents to develop the technology.

Asynt reports that its ReactoMate Reactor System, with glass vacuum jacket option, offers outstanding thermal performance thereby improving control of reactions. By reducing heat loss / gain the glass ...

Because of the high cost of building these reactors ... ensure that the system is assembled as designed.” Selin said the government should encourage the development of low-pressure nuclear ...

It has a containment system that kicks in when the ... it’s less likely to blast out radiation, because the reactor operates at atmospheric pressure. It also uses half the fuel and produces ...

China has activated the world’s first thorium molten salt reactor, pushing nuclear innovation using US research from the 1960s.

Traditionally however, the use of such passive features, for instance for reactor scram ... circulation and small pressure differences pose significant challenges to the design and safety ...

The system also uses molten salt instead ... so that it stays in its liquid state. Without that pressure, the water evaporates, and reactor fuel could overheat and suffer a meltdown.
