Researchers pioneer revolutionary keg-sized nuclear reactor with a 3D printed core
In what could be a truly transformational breakthrough in nuclear power technology – a field plagued by horrendous disasters and stalled progress – researchers at Oak Ridge National Lab have designed a nuclear reactor with a 3D printed core.
Cheaper, more efficient, and much smaller, yet less risky and less powerful that traditional nuclear plants, the new technology offers a new path forward for a source of carbon-free energy whose progress has stalled since the 1970s.
