Is it possible to make a 100kW nuclear reactor that's not

I don't work in a nuclear power plant but I have some background in nuclear energy. RTGs are really the only kind of portable nuclear energy that I think would be feasible. If you look at a nuclear power plant, it's a big compound, but the actual nuclear fuel and reaction chambers don't make up most of it. Get price

Types of Nuclear Reactors

A fast neutron reactor is a nuclear reactor in which the fission chain reaction is sustained by fast neutrons. That means the neutron moderator (slowing down) in such reactors is undesirable. This is a key advantage of fast reactors, because fast reactors have a significant excess of neutrons (due to low parasitic absorbtion), unlike PWRs (or Get price

Draft Version 14d

framework applicable to new reactor design and the transport of nuclear materials. The existing regulatory body of work is centered on fixed facility-type nuclear power plants that are non-mobile and employ legacy technology, and, movement of fuel or small quantities of nuclear material (e.g., test samples, isotopes, etc.) internationally.

Advantages of Mini Nuclear Power Plants

Mini nuclear plants in the range of 10 to 40 MW are expected to be a key energy source in the coming decade. What is required is the technology, political will, and tolerance of the public. The advantages are many. The mini nuclear power plant consists of a mini nuclear reactor along with the steam generators buried underground. Get price
