Results for tag: "Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor"

The Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) is a type of nuclear power reactor that uses liquid sodium as a coolant. It is a Generation IV reactor, meaning it is a more advanced type of reactor than the traditional light water reactors. SFRs are capable of producing more energy than traditional reactors, while also producing less waste. Additionally, they are able to use a variety of fuel sources, including plutonium and uranium. SFRs are seen as a potential solution to the global energy crisis, as they are more efficient and produce less waste than traditional reactors. They are also seen as a way to reduce the amount of nuclear waste that is produced. The SFR market is growing, as more countries are looking to nuclear power as a way to meet their energy needs. Companies such as Westinghouse Electric Company, Areva, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are all involved in the SFR market. Show Less Read more
