[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6490786, member: 15685"] On the subject of modular reactors based on advanced concepts, i.e., modular Gen4 types, Ultra Safe Nuclear Co. is offering their Micro Modular Reactor (MMR™) system to deliver safe, clean, and cost-effective electricity and heat to remote mines, industry, and communities. Canada is interested for power at remote sites which have high costs associated with fuel delivery for local generation plants (often using diesel generation). [URL]https://usnc.com/mmr-energy-system/[/URL] USNC states, "The buried reactor core consists of hexagonal graphite blocks containing stacks of Ultra Safe’s FCM™ fuel pellets. The MMR™ reactor core has a low power density and a high heat capacity resulting in very slow and predictable temperature changes." [URL]https://usnc.com/fcm-fuel/[/URL] USNC also has a space reactor program for nuclear propulsion, and power systems for Lunar and Mars bases. [URL]https://usnc.com/space[/URL] My guess is that General Atomics (GA) or BWXT would be involved in the fuel manufacture. [/QUOTE]
