Nuclear reactors – both old and new designs – use a lot of graphite as it is a key component. It is also one of the components in a reactor that gets deformed due to the radiation. The reason behind ...

Frazer-Nash is to provide engineering services related to the fabrication of the graphite moderator for Terrestrial Energy's Integrated Molten Salt Reactor under a newly announced contract between the ...

An unassuming pile of black graphite bricks containing uranium became known famously as Chicago Pile 1, the world’s first human-created, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. Eighty years later, ...

The Integral MSR is also based on the MSR Experiment but has been modified to have a more sealed, passive approach. The design team is based in Canada with international involvement and support. An 80 ...

Texas-based Natura Resources has received a DOE GAIN voucher to advance its MSR-100 molten salt reactor toward planned 2030 deployment.

Microreactor startup Radiant Industries and Amsted Graphite Materials have agreed to work together to reduce reliance on foreign sources of nuclear-grade graphite, with Radiant placing a "significant" ...

ARTIFICIAL graphite for use in graphite-moderated nuclear reactors, as anodes for mercury vapour rectifiers, and crucibles for vacuum fusion work should contain little gas. Otherwise, when the ...
