Nuclear fusion reactors that can generate fusion are usually much larger, like this now-retired Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor at PPPL. Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Nuclear fusion is what ...
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.
Enron has announced the “Enron Egg”, a micro-nuclear reactor that the newly reformed company claims can power homes for a decade. The only catch is that the parody company’s “revolution in ...
"Introducing the Enron Egg, the world's first micro-nuclear reactor for residential suburban use." The little device, according to Gaydos, has the ability to power a home for 10 continuous years.
A nuclear microreactor is a plug-and-play 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 ...
The small modular reactor (SMR) is a class of small nuclear fission reactor, designed to be built in a factory, shipped to operational sites for installation and then used to power buildings or other commercial operations. The term SMR refers to the size, capacity and modular construction. Reactor type and the nuclear processes may vary.
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.
Hanford’s historic B Reactor, the world’s first full-scale nuclear reactor, went critical on Sept. 26, 1944. Wigner’s team had designed the Hanford reactors to house 1,600 process tubes.
