Home›Nuclear Reactor›All Nuclear ReactorBrowse ByAll Nuclear ReactorReference and ClassificationDevelopingReactor designs that sustain and control a nuclear fission chain reaction to produce heat, including the pressurized water reactor, the boiling water reactor, the CANDU reactor and the small modular reactor. Belongs here: any distinct fission reactor design or class. Does not belong here: the fusion device Tokamak, grouped under Fusion Device, which pursues a different nuclear reaction entirely.FactsAll Nuclear ReactorSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1942 1Physical BasisWell-attestedNuclear 1All Nuclear ReactorFilter Results41 entriesTechnology TypeAllFast and Breeder Reactors (5)Gas-Cooled Reactors (5)Generation IV and Advanced Concepts (9)Light Water and Heavy Water Reactors (12)Research and Small Reactors (5)Energy Source UsedAllNuclear Power (30)Uranium (10)Invented EraAll1942 (1)1944 (3)1950 (2)1951 (1)1954 (1)1955 (2)1956 (3)1957 (1)1958 (1)1962 (1)1964 (1)1966 (1)1971 (1)1973 (1)1984 (1)1992 (1)1995 (1)1996 (1)2000 (1)2005 (1)2014 (2)MaturityAllTRL 3: Experimental Proof of Concept (1)TRL 6: Technology Demonstrated in Relevant Environment (21)TRL 7: System Prototype Demonstration in Operational Environment (6)TRL 9: Actual System Proven in Operational Environment (11)DeveloperAllAlvin M.
