A reactor that uses molten salt as coolant, and in some designs as the fuel carrier. MSRs can operate at high temperatures and low pressures, improving efficiency and potentially reducing complexity.

A fission reactor that runs on fast neutrons instead of thermalized ones. Fast reactors can use recycled fuel and help reduce long-lived nuclear waste by “burning” transuranics.

An advanced fission design that combines TRISO fuel with molten fluoride salt coolant. The salt operates at high temperature and low pressure, enabling efficient heat delivery and strong inherent [...]

A very small nuclear fission reactor (typically 1–20 MW) designed for factory fabrication and rapid deployment. Microreactors can provide resilient, off-grid power for remote communities, [...]

A new class of reactor designs that improve on traditional light-water reactors with features like higher operating temperatures, passive safety, modular construction, and alternative coolants or [...]

Short for tristructural isotropic fuel, TRISO consists of tiny uranium fuel particles encased in layers of ceramic and carbon materials. Each particle acts as its own containment system, able to [...]

A fusion device that also confines plasma with magnetic fields, but uses a twisted, spiral-shaped chamber to maintain stability without the need for electric currents inside the plasma.

A torus, or donut-shaped, fusion device that uses powerful magnetic fields to confine plasma in a circular path. It is the most widely used fusion design.

A type of fusion technology that confines superheated plasma within a straight, cylindrical chamber using strong magnetic fields at each end, known as “mirrors.” The plasma particles bounce back [...]

Every CEO or founder of a startup dreams of being mentioned in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, or Bloomberg. Your public relations team wants that just as much as you do. While there [...]
