Advanced Reactor Designs

http://www.nucleartourist.com/type/advanced.htm

In the United States and elsewhere, new reactors are being designed. For the most part, the successful designs are improvements on the current PWR. Designs. Other design improvements include development of passive technologies which do not require components to start and run. Other designs include the Pebble Bed Modular reactor and improvements on prior gas cooled reactor designs. The latter designs appear to be progressing at a slower rate. Courtesy TVA and USDOE.

Pebble Bed Reactor: December 2006

http://pebblebedreactor.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Solving the US Energy Crisis. Saturday, December 23, 2006. PBR advantages are attractive. Pebble bed reactor fuel spheres. 1 Pebble bed reactor (PBR) technology is safe; the reactor can not melt down. While today's reactors are safe due to multiple, redundant, engineered shutdown, cooling, and containment systems, the PBR is safe because the basic physics increases neutron absorption if the temperature rises. 6 China has a pilot PBR running. China has announced firm plans to build a full size 190 meg...

Pebble Bed Reactor: February 2007

http://pebblebedreactor.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Solving the US Energy Crisis. Thursday, February 22, 2007. Pebble bed reactors can supply hydrogen for power. Is a futuristic vision of our society using hydrogen for vehicle fuel. Hydrogen can burn in an internal combustion engine creating only water vapor, H2O, which is nonpolluting and does not contribute to global warming. The pebble bed reactor is a high temperature helium gas cooled nuclear reactor. The 950 degree Celsius heat can be used to disassociate. Indy 500 race cars run on methanol. Nobel p...
