advanced nuclear reactors

Advanced nuclear reactors are newer designs that improve safety, efficiency, and waste management compared to traditional models. They often use innovative coolants, fuels, and configurations to operate at higher temperatures or with different materials, reducing the risk of accidents and enabling better waste recycling. Some examples include small modular reactors (SMRs), which are compact and easier to deploy, and fast reactors that can even consume existing nuclear waste as fuel. These developments aim to provide reliable, low-carbon energy while addressing safety concerns and minimizing long-term radioactive waste.
