In addition to helping maintain the fusion reactor temperature, the liquid metal ... avoids overheating the metal since it is briefly exposed to the plasma and then cooled down soon again.

The executive orders include mandates for military deployment, expedited regulatory approvals, testing of new reactor designs, and major federal funding for fuels and large-scale reactor construction.

Here are the nuclear fission startups backed by Big Tech. Kairos Power received a vote of confidence from Google when the ...

Another common microreactor type is the liquid-metal-cooled reactor. This reactor commonly uses liquid metal heat pipes for passive heat removal. An example is the Microreactor Applications ...

When the MSRE was shutdown in 1969 for decommissioning, one unexpected finding that was that of embrittlement of the metal ... reactors, with examples like the Russian BN-series of sodium-cooled ...

The US Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy has announced a significant upgrade to Argonne National Laboratory's liquid metal test loop for sodium-cooled fast reactors - the largest such ...

making them a logical and very efficient option for molten salt and liquid metal-cooled reactors. Figure 5: NANO Nuclear Energy’s Annular Linear Induction Pump MR-24 external view rendering.

Soviet engineers installed a powerful liquid-metal cooled reactor, too. These two factors operating in tandem ensured the high rate of speed for the sub. Speaking of reactors, the Alfa class had a ...

NANO Nuclear believes there is significant potential for this technology to be separately commercialized within a year as a component for liquid metal and molten salt-based nuclear reactors.
