8 results about "Subcritical reactor" patented technology

A subcritical reactor is a nuclear fission reactor concept that produces fission without achieving criticality. Instead of a sustaining chain reaction, a subcritical reactor uses additional neutrons from an outside source. There are two general classes of such devices. One uses neutrons provided by a nuclear fusion machine, a concept known as a fusion-fission hybrid. The other uses neutrons created through spallation of heavy nuclei by charged particles such as protons accelerated by a particle accelerator, a concept known as an accelerator-driven system (ADS) or accelerator-driven sub-critical reactor.

Fusion-driven subcritical reactor and its operating method

To provide a fusion-driven subcritical reactor that is more efficient and safer. [Solution] A fusion-driven subcritical reactor is a nuclear reactor that starts and operates by amplifying neutrons obtained from nuclear fusion and supplying the amplified neutrons to a reactor that holds subcritical nuclear fuel by external neutrons. It consists of a main neutron source that generates DD neutrons through a nuclear fusion reaction, a cascade member that surrounds the main neutron source, separates fusion / fission neutrons, multiplies the fast fission neutrons generated by nuclear fission, and slows down the fast fission neutrons, and a cascade member that surrounds the cascade member and is mainly made of thorium oxide ( 232 It is equipped with a subcritical main fission blanket made of uranium dioxide (ThO2), and a neutron flattening blanket that has a neutron source located around the outer periphery of the main fission blanket to improve the containment of fission neutrons.

Continuous removal of fission products from molten-salt fueled nuclear reactors

An example for continuous removal of fission products from a molten-salt fueled nuclear reactor enclosed in a reactor containment may include separating actinides from other fission products flowing out of the reactor, returning the separated actinides back to the reactor to be consumed, and removing the other fission products out of the containment while the reactor is operating. In various embodiments, the reactor can be a critical reactor, a subcritical (e.g., accelerator-drive) reactor, or another type of reactor.
