In commercial nuclear power plants carbon dioxide has usually been used, for example in current British AGR nuclear power plants and formerly in a number of first generation British, French, Italian, and Japanese plants. Nitrogen [44] and helium have also been used, helium being considered particularly suitable for high temperature designs. Use ...
This is a list of all the commercial nuclear reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. The list only includes civilian nuclear power reactors used to generate electricity for a power grid. All commercial nuclear reactors use nuclear fission. As of December 2024, there are 419 operable power reactors in the world, with a ...

The Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant under construction (now halted) This table lists stations under construction stations without any reactor in service. Planned connection column indicates the connection of the first reactor, not thus whole capacity.
This is an annotated list of all the nuclear fission-based nuclear research reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. Some "research" reactors were built for the purpose of producing material for nuclear weapons.
A: So the reactor is fueled, the reactor is closed, bolted shut. Control rods are slowly being pulled out. The control rods absorb neutrons without undergoing any nuclear reactions.
The stable salt reactor (SSR) is a nuclear reactor design proposed by Moltex Energy. [117] 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.
