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

Among these designs are sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs) and very high-temperature reactors (VHTRs). SFRs offer the ability to recycle nuclear fuel, reducing waste and extending fuel supply ...

Many Member States are interested in and developing advanced High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors (HTGRs) that use helium as a coolant. Such reactors can achieve very high fuel utilization rates and ...

Specialist flow chemistry firm Vapourtec has recently launched their high temperature packed bed reactor which will open up ‘exciting opportunities’ for a host of new types of reaction. The modular ...

Even so MSRs and similar high-temperature reactors are likely to become a common sight over the next years, with larger reactor types on the scale of traditional LWRs (1+ GWe) an interesting ...

Wide range of possibilities for thermochemical processes – We use high-temperature reactors to demonstrate processes in which chemical reactions take place at particularly high temperatures. To do ...
