[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6562556, member: 15685"] [URL]https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Rolls-Royce-secures-funding-for-SMR-deployment[/URL] There are 3 main thrusts in the nuclear power (reactor) industry at the moment: 1) large power reactors (ostensibly for base load), 2) small modular reactors (SMRs), and 3) microreactors for remote areas or mobile deployment. The splits are based on MWt/MWe and/or mass of fissile content in the core. Almost all proposed commercial designs use straight UX as opposed to U,PuX or U,ThX, where X is some other element(s), e.g., O[SUB]2[/SUB], N, C, Si, CO, Zr, Mo, . . . . [/QUOTE]
