Dual Fluid Reactor

The dual fluid reactor is a nuclear reactor concept, originated by Armin Huke and Gotz Ruprecht at the Institute for Solid State Nuclear Physics in Berlin, that combines features of molten salt and liquid metal cooled reactors by keeping the nuclear fuel and the coolant in two physically separate loops, using a liquid mixture of actinides as fuel and molten lead as coolant. Its six German inventors founded the Canadian company Dual Fluid Energy Inc in February 2021 to commercialize the design, raising more than six million dollars in seed funding by that June. The concept is classed as a Generation V design meant to offer passive decay heat removal through the molten lead thermal properties, the ability to consume spent nuclear fuel and plutonium, and, for its proposed DF-300 reactor, projected electricity costs of about 2.7 cents per kilowatt hour with a single fuel load lasting around 25 years.
