The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a new process, a team has developed a new way of processing fuel efficiently ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have definitively answered a long-standing question: the tiny, natural pores inside graphite blocks do not affect the material’s performance as a ...

Nuclear reactors – both old and new designs – use a lot of graphite as it is a key component. It is also one of the components in a reactor that gets deformed due to the radiation. The reason behind ...

Graphite dust is generated as a by-product of normal operations in high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), predominantly arising from mechanical wear of graphite-based components. Typically ...

The milestone marks the first production of uranium chloride fuel for a fast-spectrum molten chloride reactor in the United States.

China’s HTR-PM (High Temperature) modular pebble bed reactor has finally started commmercial operation. It has two small reactors (each of 250 MWt) that drive a single 210 MWe steam turbine. It uses ...

NMG’s graphite performance validated in fuel-cell bipolar plates for hydrogen technologies and EMI shielding for telecom, automotive, and defense sectors NMG’s graphite–polymer composites demonstrate ...

MoltexFLEX scientists worked with the University of Manchester's Nuclear Graphite Research Group to use X-ray micro CT scanners to investigate how molten salt infiltrates pores within standard ...

The Integral MSR is also based on the MSR Experiment but has been modified to have a more sealed, passive approach. The design team is based in Canada with international involvement and support. An 80 ...
