Nuclear Reactor Technologies
Fast Reactors
Fast reactors use fast-moving neutrons to operate at higher temperatures and lower pressures. They can be cooled by molten salt, liquid metal, or helium gas.
High-Temperature Reactors
High-temperature reactors are a type of graphite-moderated thermal reactor employing TRISO fuels, differentiating them from other advanced reactor concepts.
Molten Salt Reactors
Molten salt reactors operate in a low-pressure environment, as well as at higher temperatures and for longer durations than other reactor types.
Microreactors
Microreactors are a class of very small modular reactors targeted for non-conventional nuclear markets. In the U.S., microreactor developers are currently focused on designs that could be deployed as early as the mid-2020s.
