Advanced reactors

Term · Nuclear energy and radiation · MLC-T-NUC-000005

Reactors that differ from today’s reactors primarily by their use of inert gases, molten salt mixtures, or liquid metals to cool the reactor core. Advanced reactors can also consider fuel materials and designs that differ radically from today’s enriched-uranium-dioxide pellets within zirconium cladding.
