Just 4 small modular reactor companies have received $3B in VC funding. But leading experts tell BI it's unclear if SMRs will ...

It can be expected that WCRs will continue to play an important role in the 21st century. Light water reactors (LWRs) are the most common WCRs worldwide and are divided into two types: Pressurized ...

Although to most the term ‘fission reactor’ brings to mind something close to the commonly operated light-water reactors (LWRs) which operate using plain water (H 2 O) as coolant and with ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Most new nuclear fission reactors being built today are of the light water reactor (LWR) type, which use water for neutron moderation into thermal neutrons as well as neutron capture. While ...

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries plans to develop an advanced light water reactor, an improved version of conventional pressurized water reactors. It will do so jointly with Kansai Electric Power Co ...

Introduces the fundamental ageing issues and degradation mechanisms associated with this class of nuclear power reactors Considers materials ageing and degradation in specific light water reactor ...

they naturally form micelles or tiny spheres where the water-avoiding parts gather in the center, creating a small reaction space. The scientists modified these surfactants by adding a light ...

The company says the new agreement with Hyundai will enable rapid scaling of the small reactor program. The SMR-300 is a pressurized light-water reactor which uses enriched uranium to produce 300 ...
