His "reactor" was a bored-out block of lead, and he used lithium from $1,000 worth of purchased batteries to purify the thorium ash using a Bunsen burner. [3] [4] Hahn ultimately hoped to create a breeder reactor, using low-level isotopes to transform samples of thorium and uranium into fissile isotopes. [5]
The S1B reactor is a naval reactor used by the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on Columbia-class submarines. [1] The S1B designation stands for: S = Submarine platform; 1 = First generation core designed by the contractor; B = Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation is the contracted designer
MH-1A was the first floating nuclear power station.Named Sturgis after General Samuel D. Sturgis, Jr., this pressurized water reactor built in a converted Liberty ship was part of a series of reactors in the US Army Nuclear Power Program, which aimed to develop small nuclear reactors to generate electrical and space-heating energy primarily at remote, relatively inaccessible sites.

Subnautica is a 2018 action-adventure survival game developed and published by Unknown Worlds Entertainment. The player controls Ryley Robinson, a survivor of a spaceship crash on an alien oceanic planet, which they are free to explore.
The parody company announced the "historic reveal" of the Enron Egg, "the world's first at-home nuclear reactor," in an X post on Monday. ... 'Birds aren't real' guy purchased Enron trademark in 2020.
A fission fragment reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates electricity by decelerating an ion beam of fission byproducts instead of using nuclear reactions to generate heat. By doing so, it bypasses the Carnot cycle and can achieve efficiencies of up to 90% instead of 40–45% attainable by efficient turbine-driven thermal reactors.
But the partial meltdown of TMI-2, the second reactor on the site, was the most serious nuclear accident in the history of U.S. commercial nuclear power. The reactor core overheated when its feed ...
