Nuclear Salt Water Rocket (NSWR) is a rocket that uses known physics and engineering and there are versions that could reach ...

It can be expected that WCRs will continue to play an important role in the 21st century. Light water reactors (LWRs) are the most common WCRs worldwide and are divided into two types: Pressurized ...

Kairos Power is working with the Low Enriched Fuel Fabrication Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory to manufacture fuel ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Although to most the term ‘fission reactor’ brings to mind something close to the commonly operated light-water reactors (LWRs) which operate using plain water (H 2 O) as coolant and with ...

Most new nuclear fission reactors being built today are of the light water reactor (LWR) type, which use water for neutron moderation into thermal neutrons as well as neutron capture. While ...

they naturally form micelles or tiny spheres where the water-avoiding parts gather in the center, creating a small reaction space. The scientists modified these surfactants by adding a light ...

Introduces the fundamental ageing issues and degradation mechanisms associated with this class of nuclear power reactors Considers materials ageing and degradation in specific light water reactor ...
