61Nuclear reactor accidents in the United States — According to a 2010 survey of energy accidents, there have been at least 56 accidents near nuclear reactors in the United States (defined as incidents that either resulted in the loss of human life or more than US$50,000 of property damage). The… …
62Natural nuclear fission reactor — Geological situation in Gabon leading to natural nuclear fission reactors 1. Nuclear reactor zones 2. Sandstone 3. Uranium ore layer 4. Granite A natural nuclear fission reactor is a uranium deposit where analysis of isotope ratios has shown that …
63SLOWPOKE reactor — The SLOWPOKE (acronym for Safe Low Power Kritical Experiment) is a low energy, pool type nuclear research reactor designed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) in the late 1960s. It is beryllium reflected with a very low critical mass but… …
64Gas-cooled fast reactor — The Gas Cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) system is a nuclear reactor design which is currently in development. Classed as a Generation IV reactor, it features a fast neutron spectrum and closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium and… …
65Sodium-cooled fast reactor — The Sodium cooled fast reactor or SFR is a Generation IV reactor project to design an advanced fast neutron reactor.It builds on two closely related existing projects, the LMFBR and the Integral Fast Reactor, with the objective of producing a… …
66Fission fragment reactor — Similar to how the fission fragment rocket produces thrust, a fission fragment reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates electricity by decelerating an ion beam of fission byproducts instead of using nuclear reactions to generate heat. By doing …
67UNGG reactor — The UNGG ( Uranium Naturel Graphite Gaz ) is an obsolete design of nuclear power reactor developed by France. It was graphite moderated, cooled by carbon dioxide, and fueled with natural uranium metal.It was developed independently of and in… …
68Omega West Reactor (OWR) — The Omega West Reactor (OWR) was an experimental nuclear reactor located at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos NM. OMR was completed in 1956 and primarily used for scientific scale nuclear research until it was fully decommissioned in… …
69Advanced Boiling Water Reactor — The Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) is a Generation III reactor boiling water reactor. The ABWR was designed by General Electric. The standard ABWR plant design has a net output of about 1350 MWe, however General Electric Hitachi (GEH)has… …
70CIRUS reactor — CIRUS (Canada India Research U.S.) is a research reactor at the Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) in Trombay near Mumbai, India. CIRUS was supplied by Canada in 1954, but uses heavy water supplied by the U.S. (hence its name). It is the second …
