The high values of the reactor temperatures and the operating stresses cause stress corrosion and corrosion fatigue. Neutron flux causes the most damaging effect on the metal structure. After ...

All SMRs use nuclear fission and are either based on thermal-neutron designs or those that are considered fast-neutron reactors.

The XAMR micro reactor from Naarea combines three key technologies: molten salt, fast neutrons and small modular reactors (SMRs). The microreactor will use long-lived nuclear waste.

A steel reactor base plate and the lower tier of the containment has been installed in what is being called a landmark moment for construction of the BREST-OD-300 generation IV fast neutron reactor in ...

The third and final tier of the reactor containment structure has been installed at the construction site of the BREST-OD-300 lead-cooled fast neutron reactor at the Siberian Chemical Combine site in ...

India’s Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) will allow the country's flagship 500-MWe/1,250-MWth prototype fast-breeder reactor (PFBR) in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, to approach criticality. The ...

Fast neutron reactors operating in a closed fuel cycle could make that happen. Fast neutron reactors, which use neutrons that are not slowed by a moderator such as water to sustain the fission chain ...

The multipurpose fast research reactor MBIR is a new mega science installation, which is being built in Russia. An international research center to leverage the installation’s capabilities ...

Rosatom says it has achieved a landmark milestone in construction of the lead-cooled fast neutron Brest-OD-300 reactor at the Siberian Chemical Combine (SCC – part of Rosatom’s TVEL fuel company) in ...
