Russian nuclear microreactor Shelf-M. A nuclear microreactor is a type of nuclear reactor which can be easily assembled and transported by road, rail or air. [1] Microreactors are 100 to 1,000 times smaller than conventional nuclear reactors, and range in capacity from 1 to 20 MWe (megawatts of electricity), compared to 20 to 300 MWe (megawatts of electricity) for small modular reactors (SMRs ...
The stable salt reactor (SSR) is a nuclear reactor design proposed by Moltex Energy. [118] 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 S5G reactor plant floats in a tank of water to simulate the engine room of a submarine. The S5G reactor was a prototype naval reactor designed for the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on submarines. The S5G designation stands for: S = Submarine platform; 5 = Fifth generation core designed by the contractor
Illustration of a light water small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) 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.
A nuclear submarine is a submarine powered by a nuclear reactor, but not necessarily nuclear-armed.In the US classification, nuclear-powered submarines are designated as SSxN, where the SS denotes submarine, x=G means that the submarine is equipped with guided missiles (usually cruise missiles), x=B means that the submarine is equipped with ballistic missiles (usually intercontinental) and the ...
Project Pele is a project of the US Department of Defense to build a deployable nuclear power reactor [1] for use in United States Armed Forces remote operating bases. In 2020 the project was listed as relevant to lunar and Mars missions. [2]: 15 presumably for surface operations rather than rocket propulsion.
A microreactor or microstructured reactor or microchannel reactor is a device in which chemical reactions take place in a confinement with typical lateral dimensions below 1 mm; the most typical form of such confinement are microchannels.
This naval nuclear reactor is estimated to generate 210 megawatts (MWt) [3] driving a 30 MW pump-jet propulsion system built by BAE Systems that was designed for the Royal Navy [4] and entered service on the second Trafalgar-class submarine, also featured on the Astute-class submarines.
