Wikipedia notes that "in some geographic localities, photovoltaic solar or onshore wind is the cheapest new-build electricity," a sign of just how mature those particular technologies have become. Browsing by maturity separates technologies still emerging from those already fully commercial.FactsTRL 6: Technology Demonstrated in Relevant EnvironmentSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1942 1Physical BasisWell-attestedNuclear 1TRL 6: Technology Demonstrated in Relevant EnvironmentFilter Results21 entriesTechnology TypeAllFast and Breeder Reactors (5)Gas-Cooled Reactors (4)Generation IV and Advanced Concepts (7)Light Water and Heavy Water Reactors (2)Research and Small Reactors (1)Energy Source UsedAllNuclear Power (17)Uranium (4)Invented EraAll1944 (1)1950 (2)1951 (1)1954 (1)1956 (2)1958 (1)1964 (1)1966 (1)1971 (1)1973 (1)1984 (1)2000 (1)DeveloperAllAlvin M.
