The MIT Nuclear Research Reactor (MITR) serves the research purposes of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a tank-type 6 megawatt reactor [ 2 ] that is moderated and cooled by light water and uses heavy water as a reflector.
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. [ 6 ]
ARC is planned to be a 270 MWe tokamak reactor with a major radius of 3.3 m, a minor radius of 1.1 m, and an on-axis magnetic field of 9.2 T. [ 2 ] The design point has a fusion energy gain factor Q p ≈ 13.6 (the plasma produces 13 times more fusion energy than is required to heat it), yet is fully non-inductive, with a bootstrap fraction of ...
The nuclear industry is trying to crawl out of the depths after being damaged by the Fukushima Daiichi disaster last year. Soon after the disaster, Germany decided to shut down its nuclear plants ...
VVR-M 18 MW reactor at St. Petersburg Institute of Nuclear Physics; IBR-2 2 MW pulsed reactor at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research; SM, Arbus (ACT-1), MIR.M1, RBT-6, RBT-10 / 1, RBT-10 / 2, BOR-60 and VK-50 Research Institute of Atomic Reactors
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.
This table lists all currently operational power stations. Some of these may have reactors under construction, but only current net capacity is listed. Capacity of permanently shut-down reactors is not included, but capacity of long-term shut-down reactors (today mainly in Japan) is included.
The restart of Three Mile Island's 800-megawatt reactor, however, is only a stopgap measure. ... It's one of the world's biggest suppliers of high-grade uranium, selling $2.6 billion worth of ...
