A recator that can be passively cooled and operates at atmosphere pressure will not have the problems of these big reactors. A small design that can be produced in a factory will make the cost reasonable and preictable.
The integral molten salt reactor has these advantages and should be comercialy available wothin 10 years.
- bildung 7y agoThese things usually take way longer than 10 years. There are MSR projects (not your proposed small variant) happening since the sixties. China startet multiple new projects about 10 years ago and currently estimating it will take at least another 10 years. The EU suspects it will take 30 years from now. https://www.thmsr.com/en/challenges/ https://www.thmsr.com/en/challenges/
- xorfish 7y agoI don't think it is unreasonable, they already passed some regulatory steps and want to build a fairly simple reactor.
