The UML Nuclear Reactor is water cooled and operates at a maximum power level of one megawatt. It is used primarily for training and research in the fields of nuclear science, radiochemistry and ...

Unfortunately, fast reactors have the disadvantages of being ... This uses a sodium pool-based design and has been in operation since 1980, providing 600 MW of power to the local grid.

Secondly, the special pool-type design gives rise to thermal hydraulic phenomena including natural ... This joint research project will focus on developing instrumentation technology and associated ...

Japan's demonstration sodium-cooled fast reactor (with a capacity of about 600 MWe) is based on an integrated SFR architecture (pool-type reactor) already developed and implemented in France. At the ...

Located in the East China Sea, the islet has historically lacked geographical or historical significance. That, however, has changed. This nondescript island, which has largely been uninhabited, has ...

This is where fast neutron reactors are highly attractive. Fast neutron reactors can also fission other fissile elements, covering the full spectrum of neutron cross sections. TerraPower’s ...

The silo is described as being like a swimming pool with a concrete roof. Dounreay, near Thurso, was the UK site for the development of fast reactor research from 1955 to 1994. The facility on the ...
