Existing reactor designs
- Molten salt reactor [r]: A nuclear reactor using molten salt as the fuel or coolant [e]
- Pressurized Water Reactor [r]: A nuclear power reactor in which the heat of fission affects water in a primary loop, which is piped to a heat exchanger that generates steam in a secondary loop that drives the turbine; water in the primary but not the secondary loop is radioactive [e]
Proposed reactor designs
See Advanced Reactors Information System for dozens of other new designs.
- FC-MSR_nuclear_reactor [r]: Elysium's reactor with no moderator, capable of burning spent nuclear fuel and bomb cores. [e]
- High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor [r]: A medium-sized, next-generation nuclear reactor primarily intended to provide heat for industrial processes, with electricity generation a secondary role; uranium-fueled, graphite-moderated and helium-cooled [e]
- Molten chloride fast reactor [r]: TerraPower's Molten Chloride Fast Reactor[1] [e]
- Natrium reactor [r]: A fast reactor using molten sodium as the coolant. Development funded by Bill Gates. Like the MCSFR, capable of burning spent nuclear fuel. [2] [e]
- NuScale small modular reactor [r]: A smaller version of a standard Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR).[3] [e]
- ThorCon nuclear reactor [r]: A molten salt reactor (MSR) using a mix of uranium and thorium in a fluoride salt with a graphite moderator. [e]
- Very_high_temperature_reactor [r]: A nuclear reactor using helium gas as a coolant, that might provide process heat for production of zero-carbon hydrogen from water.[4] [e]
