Microsoft has appointed Archana Archie Manoharan as its Director of Nuclear Technologies in its quest to develop small modular nuclear reactors for datacentres.
Samedi 2 décembre 2023, par Bernard Laponche, Jean-Luc Thierry, https://global-chance.org/SMRs-two-examples-NuScale-in-the-US-NUWARD-in-France In recent years, a new type of reactor has appeared on the world stage, the SMR - Small Modular Reactor. Historically, a number of "small reactors" of very different types have been in operation – small in terms of power compared with the reactors of nuclear power…
“We found that small modular reactors will generate at least nine times more neutron-activated steel than conventional power plants. These radioactive materials have to be carefully managed prior to disposal, which will be expensive.” The study concluded that, overall, small modular designs were inferior to conventional reactors with respect to radioactive waste generation, management requirements,…
The Chemical Engineer, by Adam Duckett, 27 Nov 23 NUSCALE has cancelled the first project for its pioneering small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) technology because too few customers signed up to receive its power amid rising costs. NuScale is the only company to have received design approval from US regulators for an SMR, a smaller…
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/french-nuclear-startup-seeks-150-million-for-reactor-prototype-1.2003704 27 Nov 23 Naarea, a three-year-old French nuclear startup, is looking to raise €150 million ($164 million) as it seeks to develop a small reactor that would meet growing industrial decarbonization needs from the start of the next decade. The company, which already raised €50 million from a handful of French family offices such…
