Milestone builds on prior agreement for nuclear-grade graphite and supports SOLO™ FOAK (First-of-a-Kind) deployment targeted ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Graphite is a key structural component in some of the world’s oldest nuclear reactors and many of the next-generation designs being built today. But it also condenses and swells in ...

ORNL's electrochemical approach creates the graphite from coal byproducts at just 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. The conversion occurs when 2.7 volts are applied into an electrochemical reactor, causing ...

Station Director of Heysham 2 Martin Cheetham on the uniqueness of the UK's fleet of advanced gas-cooled reactors, the prospect of a life extension and a possible future with small modular reactors.

Graphite dust is generated as a by-product of normal operations in high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), predominantly arising from mechanical wear of graphite-based components. Typically ...

An advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) is a type of nuclear reactor designed and operated in the United Kingdom. These are the second generation UK gas-cooled reactors, using graphite as a neutron ...
