Hace 3 días · Case Study: TerraPower and GE Hitachi’s ‘Natrium’ Consider TerraPower and GEH's Natrium reactor, designed to generate sufficient heat for 350 MW of electricity. The system includes a one Gigawatt Hour (GWh) scale molten salt battery tied to a 500 MW turbine.
Hace 4 días · Small modular reactors ( SMR s) are a class of small nuclear fission reactors, designed to be built in a factory, shipped to operational sites for installation and then used to power buildings or other commercial operations. The first commercial SMR was invented by a team of nuclear scientists at Oregon State University (OSU) in 2007. [1]
