    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor

    A fission fragment reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates electricity by decelerating an ion beam of fission byproducts instead of using nuclear reactions to generate heat. By doing so, it bypasses the Carnot cycle and can achieve efficiencies of up to 90% instead of 40–45% attainable by efficient turbine-driven thermal reactors.

    The stable salt reactor (SSR) is a nuclear reactor design proposed by Moltex Energy. [117] It represents a breakthrough in molten salt reactor technology, with the potential to make nuclear power safer, cheaper and cleaner. The modular nature of the design, including reactor core and non-nuclear buildings, allows rapid deployment on a large scale.

    The Generation IV International Forum (GIF) is an international organization with its stated goal being "the development of concepts for one or more Generation IV systems that can be licensed, constructed, and operated in a manner that will provide a competitively priced and reliable supply of energy ... while satisfactorily addressing nuclear safety, waste, proliferation and public perception ...

  5. Small modular reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_modular_reactor

    The small modular reactor (SMR) is a class of small nuclear fission reactor, designed to be built in a factory, shipped to operational sites for installation and then used to power buildings or other commercial operations. The term SMR refers to the size, capacity and modular construction. Reactor type and the nuclear processes may vary.

    These types are not exclusive, for example a VVER is a PWR. It may not even always be clear what is included in a type: In some contexts an ABWR is a type of BWR, but in most contexts it is not. See also Category:Nuclear power stations and its subcategories for details of particular power reactors.

  7. Nuclear technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_technology

    Nuclear power is a type of nuclear technology involving the controlled use of nuclear fission to release energy for work including propulsion, heat, and the generation of electricity. Nuclear energy is produced by a controlled nuclear chain reaction which creates heat—and which is used to boil water, produce steam, and drive a steam turbine.
