The BWRX-300 is a smaller evolution of an earlier GE Hitachi reactor design, note the Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) design and utilizing components of the operational Advanced boiling water reactor (ABWR) reactor. [1] Boiling water reactors are nuclear technology that use ordinary light water as a nuclear reactor coolant ...
The present reactor operating license was issued April 17, 1987, and will expire September 29, 2026. Plans for a second reactor were shelved. Exelon, the former owner and operator of the present reactor, announced plans to permanently close the power station in June 2017, due to the plants struggles to compete economically in wholesale markets ...
The reactor will have an output of 1500 MW thermal power and 600 MW electric power. [1] [2] The fuel will be supplied by TVEL, subsidiary of Rosatom, according to the agreement signed in 2019. [4] The CFR-600 is part of the Chinese plan to reach a closed nuclear fuel cycle. Fast neutron reactors are the main future nuclear power technology in ...
In January 2016, X-energy was provided a five-year grant of up to $40 million, as part of the DOE's Advanced Reactor Concept Cooperative Agreement to advance elements of their reactor development. [2] [3] [4] In 2019, X-energy received funding from the United States Department of Defense to develop small military reactors for use at forward ...
The OPR-1000 is a South Korean-designed two-loop 1000 MWe PWR Generation II nuclear reactor, developed by KHNP and KEPCO. [1] The OPR-1000 was originally designated as the Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant (KSNP), and was re-designated as the OPR-1000 in 2005 for foreign sales. [2]
TerraPower selected Kemmerer, Wyoming as the site for a 345 MWe Natrium reactor using a molten salt energy storage system. The reactor can temporarily boost output to 500 MWe, enabling the plant to integrate with renewable resources. [9] In June 2024 the site broke ground, beginning preparation for the as-yet unapproved reactor. [10]
A high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is a type of gas-cooled nuclear reactor which uses uranium fuel and graphite moderation to produce very high reactor core output temperatures. [1] All existing HTGR reactors use helium coolant. The reactor core can be either a "prismatic block" (reminiscent of a conventional reactor core) or a ...
