BN-800 reactor

The BN-800 is a type of advanced nuclear reactor developed in Russia. It uses fast neutrons to produce electricity more efficiently and can also recycle spent nuclear fuel, reducing waste. Designed for safety and sustainability, it operates using liquid metal coolant (sodium), allowing higher temperatures for better energy output. As a breeder reactor, it generates more fissile material than it consumes, helping to extend nuclear fuel supplies. The BN-800 aims to provide reliable, low-carbon electricity while contributing to efficient fuel use and waste minimization.
