  2. MIT Nuclear Research Reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Nuclear_Research_Reactor

    It is a tank-type 6 megawatt reactor [2] that is moderated and cooled by light water and uses heavy water as a reflector. It is the second largest university-based research reactor in the U.S. (after the University of Missouri Research Reactor Center) and has been in operation since 1958. [7] It is the fourth-oldest operating reactor in the ...

  3. List of nuclear power stations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_stations

    As of May 2023, there are 436 operable nuclear power reactors worldwide. This table lists all currently operational power stations. Some of these may have reactors under construction, but only current net capacity is listed.

  4. List of small modular reactor designs - Wikipedia

    The reactor unit has a thermal capacity of 250 MW, and two reactors are connected to a single steam turbine to generate 210 MW of electricity. [70] Its potential applications include direct replacement of supercritical coal-fired power plants, [ 71 ] [ 72 ] while its heat could be used for seawater desalination, hydrogen production, or a wide ...

    The reactors, known as Unit 3 and Unit 4 were originally expected to be completed in 2017 and cost $14 billion, but the second reactor only started commercial operations in April this year.

  6. Nuclear microreactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_microreactor

    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 ...

  7. OPEN100 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPEN100

    Those blueprints contained designs for a power plant with a 100-megawatt pressurized water reactor. [3] The OPEN100 plans aim to standardize nuclear power plant construction to increase speed and cost-effectiveness, allowing plants to be built in under two years for a cost of $300 million. [ 4 ]

  8. DEMOnstration Power Plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEMOnstration_Power_Plant

    At a June 1986 meeting organized by the IAEA, participants agreed on the following, concise definition for a DEMO reactor: "The DEMO is a complete electric power station demonstrating that all technologies required for a prototype commercial reactor work reliably enough to develop sufficient confidence for such commercial reactors to be ...

  9. SPARC (tokamak) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC_(tokamak)

    SPARC is designed to achieve this with margin in excess of breakeven and may be capable of achieving up to 140 MW of fusion power for 10 second bursts despite its relatively compact size. [ 2 ] [ 1 ] The project is scheduled to start operations in 2026, with the goal of demonstrating net power (Q > 1) in 2027. [ 4 ]
