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.
Nuclear power plants operate in 32 countries and generate about a tenth of the world's electricity. [2] Most are in Europe , North America and East Asia . The United States is the largest producer of nuclear power, while France has the largest share of electricity generated by nuclear power, at about 70%.
The stable salt reactor (SSR) is a nuclear reactor design proposed by Moltex Energy. [118] 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.
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.
