The following is a detailed explanation of its operating principle: ...

The US is leveraging 3D printing to build nuclear reactor components on Earth, while also accelerating plans to deploy a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030.

BWXT manufactures and assembles these parts into a naval nuclear reactor. BWXT facilities in Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and Virginia contribute to the process.

Kairos Power has installed the reactor vessel for its third Engineering Test Unit, which is under construction in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The non-nuclear prototype will be used to pilot new ...

Fluidized bed reactors (FBR) are widely used in chemical engineering, as well as for raw materials processing because of the excellent heat and mass transfer in a fluidized bed. A new FBR was ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Users of the reactor will be able to pack it with appropriate catalysts, scavenger resins or stoichiometric reagents. Dr Manuel Nuño of Vapourtec explained “This pioneering high temperature packed bed ...

Specialist flow chemistry firm Vapourtec has recently launched their high temperature packed bed reactor which will open up 'exciting opportunities' for a host of new types of reaction.

BWX Technologies announces ~$2.1B in contract awards for the manufacture of reactor components for the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program.

A promising technology for producing carbon-neutral fuels is fluidized-bed gasification of biomass. In combination with chemical looping gasification (CLG), the process becomes even more efficient.
