Waiting game Hinkley Point C – a European pressurized water reactor – would, if built, be the first nuclear new build in the UK for more than 20 years. (Courtesy: EDF Energy) The headlines have not ...

Supercritical-Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) are high temperature, high-pressure, light-water-cooled reactors that operate above the thermodynamic critical point of water (374°C, 22.1 MPa). The reactor ...

This innovation gives the design its name: Integral Inherently Safe Light Water Reactor (I2S-LWR). If all goes to plan, construction of the first I2S-LWRs could begin in around 10 years, making ...

For an average pressurized water reactor (PWR) type reactor, these fuel assemblies are between 4 m and 5 m tall and 20 cm across. Nearly 200 of these assemblies will go into a 1 GWe PWR ...

A “who’s doing what” addendum to "THE BIG PICTURE: Advanced Fission" in our November 2012 issue. Argentina: Site excavation for a 27-MW CAREM prototype—integral-type pressurized light ...

The VOYGR pressurized water reactor design, due in part to its small size, has a slightly lower burnup and thermal efficiency compared to a larger pressurized water reactor.

Kansai Electric Power Co. and other utilities will install filter-equipped venting systems for their pressurized light-water reactors to release vapor and prevent damage to containment vessels in ...

India’s government has given the state-owned Nuclear Power Corp. of India Ltd. (NPCIL) the green light to develop 10 new domestically designed pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs).
