Nuclear reactor engineering; Engineering, procurement and construction; Nuclear fuel GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, a partnership of General Electric and Hitachi (in Japan the partnership is Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy), is a provider of advanced reactor technology and nuclear services, including manufacturing nuclear fuel and uranium enrichment ...
Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant is a facility located in Scioto Township, Pike County, Ohio, just south of Piketon, Ohio, that previously produced enriched uranium, including highly enriched weapons-grade uranium, for the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), the U.S. nuclear weapons program and Navy nuclear propulsion; in later years, it produced low-enriched uranium for fuel for ...
TerraPower is an American nuclear reactor design and development engineering company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. TerraPower is developing a class of nuclear fast reactors termed traveling wave reactors (TWR). [1] TWR places a small core of enriched fuel in the center of a much larger mass of non-fissile material, in this case ...
There's a reason why the approval process for nuclear reactor designs is so strict. Small-scale modular nuclear reactors are very different. Being small, the potential risk from an incident is lower.
The company’s first product, the PWR-20, is a 20 MWe micro-modular nuclear power plant, [34] made up of modules that collectively fit inside of a standard shipping container. The purpose of modular design is to ensure that all pieces of the power plant can be constructed in a factory, transported via trucks, and then delivered as a kit onsite ...
Last Energy's case is not unique; many advanced nuclear reactor companies have seen costs and project timelines increase as a result of the NRC's onerous and confusing licensing requirements. The ...
A modular nuclear reactor was the project of choice for local business leaders in Carlsbad as the U.S. Department of Energy worked to decide how 9,000 unused acres at the Waste Isolation Pilot ...
On the same day, B&W MNE announced its plans to design and develop the B&W mPower reactor, a modular, scalable nuclear reactor. The B&W mPower reactor design is a 125 megawatt, passively safe Advanced Light Water Reactor (ALWR) (a Generation III reactor) with a below-ground containment structure. [21] The reactor is set to be manufactured in a ...
