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

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 ...

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 ...

A much-delayed nuclear fusion project involving more than 30 countries is ready to assemble the world's most powerful magnet ...

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 ...

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 ...

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project said the final component of the system had been completed and ...

Plasma must be kept at very high temperatures with the support of external heating systems and confined by an external magnetic field. Every shift or change of the working configuration in the reactor ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than ...
