Texas A&M University System has unveiled four nuclear developers with which it plans to explore building and operating small modular reactor plants (SMRs) at its Texas A&M-RELLIS campus near College ...

The fast reactor technologies, both sodium and lead-cooled, the high-temperature reactors - all these technologies are really being explored around the world in various forms in various countries.

and a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor using TRISO fuel, found that there were “no major challenges” to the management of small modular reactors and advanced modular reactor wastes compared to ...

EDF has signalled that Britain’s fleet of ageing nuclear power plants can keep running into the next decade amid a scramble ...

Heysham 1 began operating in 1983 and has two advanced gas cooled reactors, scheduled for closure in 2027. The second plant started generating in 1988 and its two gas cooled reactors are due to ...

In recent years, growing interest in this technology has led to renewed development activities. Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are seen in some countries as a promising advanced reactor technology ...

Sweden’s Blykalla and Höganäs AB have announced a strategic partnership to develop specialised materials and manufacturing processes for Blykalla’s small modular reactor (SMR), called the Swedish ...

"This decision is subject to agreeing the appropriate commercial model to ensure such an extension is viable," it noted. In December, further life extensions for the four generating Advanced Gas ...

Sodium-cooled fast reactors using metallic-alloy fuel are attracting attention because they are inherently safe and produce more fuel than they use.
