Definitely, one would have to be constructed - but few a willing to pony up the money.Xnn said:No one has ever built an IPSR let alone operated it.
Would like to see some OE before deciding.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has evaluated and determined that the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) is the most efficient and safest design for a nuclear reactor.
An IFR reactor is a type of nuclear reactor design that uses liquid metal as a coolant and can recycle its own nuclear waste as fuel, making it a more sustainable and efficient energy source.
The DOE evaluates various factors such as safety, efficiency, cost, and environmental impact to determine the best reactor design.
The IFR reactor has several advantages over other designs, including a higher fuel efficiency, lower risk of nuclear accidents, and the ability to recycle nuclear waste. It also produces less long-lived radioactive waste compared to traditional nuclear reactors.
While the IFR reactor has many advantages, it is still a relatively new technology and has not yet been fully tested on a large scale. Additionally, the initial cost of building an IFR reactor may be higher than other designs. However, in the long run, it is believed to be a more sustainable and cost-effective option for nuclear energy production.
