  2. Generation IV reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor

    The majority of reactors in operation around the world are considered second generation and third generation reactor systems, as the majority of the first generation systems have been retired. China was the first country to operate a demonstration generation-IV reactor, the HTR-PM in Shidaowan, Shandong , [ 7 ] [ 8 ] which is a pebble-bed type ...

  3. Lead-cooled fast reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-cooled_fast_reactor

    However, a number of proposed and one in construction new nuclear reactor designs are lead-cooled. Fuel designs being explored for this reactor scheme include fertile uranium as a metal, metal oxide or metal nitride. [2] The lead-cooled reactor design has been proposed as a generation IV reactor. Plans for future implementation of this type of ...

  4. Gas-cooled fast reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-cooled_fast_reactor

    Classed as a Generation IV reactor, it features a fast-neutron spectrum and closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium and management of actinides. The reference reactor design is a helium - cooled system operating with an outlet temperature of 850 °C (1,560 °F) using a direct Brayton closed-cycle gas turbine for high ...

  5. Sodium-cooled fast reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-cooled_fast_reactor

    Pool type sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) A sodium-cooled fast reactor is a fast neutron reactor cooled by liquid sodium.. The initials SFR in particular refer to two Generation IV reactor proposals, one based on existing liquid metal cooled reactor (LMFR) technology using mixed oxide fuel (MOX), and one based on the metal-fueled integral fast reactor.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMSR-LF1

    ^Location: the LF1 reactor is sited within an industrial park located in Hongshagang (town), Minqin (county), Wuwei (prefecture), Gansu (province), China. As per official documentation, the TMSR-LF1 site is located at 38°57'31" N, 102°36'55" E.

  7. Molten-salt reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-salt_reactor

    A molten-salt reactor (MSR) is a class of nuclear fission reactor in which the primary nuclear reactor coolant and/or the fuel is a mixture of molten salt with a fissile material. Two research MSRs operated in the United States in the mid-20th century.

    Nuclear developers put out designs for small modular reactors that effectively shrunk traditional, water-cooled units, with the idea that buying machines that generate 300 megawatts or less in ...

  9. Nuclear reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor

    The HTR-PM is expected to be the first generation IV reactor to enter operation. [96] Molten-salt reactors (MSR) [moderator: graphite, or none for fast spectrum MSRs; coolant: molten salt mixture] These dissolve the fuels in fluoride or chloride salts, or use such salts for coolant. MSRs potentially have many safety features, including the ...
