advanced reactor technologies

Advanced reactor technologies are innovative nuclear systems designed to improve safety, efficiency, and waste management compared to traditional reactors. They often feature enhanced safety measures, such as passive cooling that requires no active intervention, and can utilize alternative fuels or even recycled nuclear material. Some designs aim to operate at higher temperatures for better energy efficiency or to produce less long-lived waste. These reactors are developed to address challenges of current nuclear power, offering cleaner, safer, and more sustainable options for future electricity generation.
