Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor

A Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) is a type of nuclear reactor that uses liquid sodium metal as its coolant to transfer heat generated from nuclear reactions. Unlike traditional reactors that use water, sodium remains liquid at very high temperatures, allowing the reactor to operate efficiently and safely at higher temperatures. SFRs can utilize a wider range of nuclear fuel, including recycled fuel, making them more sustainable and capable of reducing nuclear waste. They are designed to generate electricity while advancing nuclear technology and safety through fast neutron reactions and efficient heat transfer.
