- Sustainable nuclear reactors
- Sustainable nuclear reactorsThis isn't newsThese things have been around for decades - I did some work on them at GE in the early 90's, and even then it was a really old technology. Sure, it's a perfectly fine idea technically, but breeders make lots of plutonium, so they're an...

- Sustainable nuclear reactors
- Dutch researchers at the Delft University of Technology are working on Generation IV nuclear reactor designs. These future Gas Cooled Fast Reactors GFR should produce more new fissile materials than the ones consumed by the reactors. They will use helium as coolant at high temperature and should bring us sustainable...
