Sentences with phrase «generation fast reactor»

JAEA engineers are also designing a next - generation fast reactor, but there has been no decision on actually building it.

Not exact matches

In its efforts to develop safer, cheaper, and more efficient nuclear reactors, the Idaho National Laboratory has researched half a dozen next - generation reactor designs; these two (the sodium - cooled fast reactor and the very - high - temperature reactor) are the most promising.

My answer to the narrowed question: • Identify adaptation policies that can be implemented to reduce impacts of extreme weather events (which will happen with or without greenhouse driven global warming) • Research on nuclear energy to reduce the stigma of nuclear generation, e.g., fast reactors (Generation 4 reactors) or thorigeneration, e.g., fast reactors (Generation 4 reactors) or thoriGeneration 4 reactors) or thorium fueled.

But «off - the - shelf builds» are pure vapourware: every nuclear enthusiast has their own pet type of reactor — «4th generation», thorium - fuelled, fast breeder... which will (supposedly) solve the fuelling, safety and proliferation problems of previous designs, but we have no «off - the - shelf builds» for any of them.

But a new generation of «fast» reactors can burn plutonium, turning a health and security risk into cheap, low - carbon energy.
