Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy is developing and commercializing four new reactor designs to address the growing global needs for nuclear power, drawing on over 40 years of experience in constructing
Here''s a look at three companies with customers secured and significant financial backing. The nuclear industry is racing to launch advanced small reactors by the early 2030s, aiming
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are the future of nuclear power, and they could become an important strategic export industry in the next two decades. SMRs must get to sufficient scale so
Bill Gates'' reactor Natrium is a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) and represents a new concept for energy generation and storage, hybridizing a sodium-cooled fast reactor with a molten
The Natrium reactor, a next-generation sodium-cooled fast reactor, integrates a gigawatt-hour-scale molten salt energy storage system to deliver flexible, zero-carbon power.
They range from advanced light-water-cooled small modular reactors to new designs that use molten salts and high-temperature gases to flexibly operate at even higher temperatures and
The Natrium reactor, unlike current Light Water reactors, is a 345-megawatt sodium fast reactor. It includes a new technology from TerraPower: a molten salt energy storage system.
New reactors use novel materials and compact designs to make nuclear power safer and cheaper. Nuclear power has been a critical part of the electricity grid for decades, but old reactor...
Pioneering new innovations such as fully passive-safety systems, heat-pipe technology, and our approach to modular plant construction, demonstrate how Westinghouse continues to raise the bar
The Natrium® reactor and energy storage system redefines what nuclear technology can be: emissions-free, competitive and flexible. Built for the 21st century grid, TerraPower''s Natrium technology is one
