The Government of Canada could build on this momentum to
develop an expanded MoU on civilian nuclear technology co-operation that includes research in pressurized heavy
water reactor technology, nuclear medicine and other areas discussed by the prime ministers.
There are some 50 modular designs being
developed globally, and while many are traditional light
water reactors, which use
water to cool the
reactor core, others gain efficiency by using coolants such as gas, which allow
reactors to reach higher temperatures.
Led by graduate student Sandra Rincon and her advisor, Haluk Beyenal, professor in the Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering, the researchers
developed a unique biofilm
reactor that recycles gasses and uses less
water and lower light than typical
reactors.
Two other companies, Energy Matter Conversion Corp. (EMC2) and Tri Alpha Energy, are
developing reactors that use proton - boron fuel, which requires even higher temperatures than deuterium does but allows almost direct conversion of fusion into electricity, without boiling
water to drive a generator.
The CAREM design was
developed by Invap under contract with the CNEA as a simplified modular pressurised
water reactor (PWR) with integral steam generators.
GE realised during the Clinch River Breeder
Reactor project that trying to
develop a sodium
reactor along the same scale as a
water reactor would not be optimal.

reactors to prevent them from
developing heavy
water (necessary for an atomic bomb).
Meanwhile, the north of China famously struggles with a lack of
water, something nuclear power stations require plenty of to keep
reactors cool, and the east coast, where there is plenty of
water, is home to China's most
developed cities, which are increasingly turning to NIMBY - ism.
Success with ammonia means we will have
developed and commercialized, at scale, with viable economics, infrastructure and supply chains, the following new technologies: CCS, SSAS, methane cracking, conventional and high temperature electrolysis and thermochemical
water splitting for hydrogen production, nuclear heat sources and small modular
reactors, and solar heat sources and renewable electricity of sufficient reliability to be integrated into high volume must - run industrial processes.
SMRs and advanced nuclear
reactor designs are also being
developed to provide process heat for industrial uses, desalinization of sea
water, and district steam heating.
