Finland’s Steady Energy Pours First Concrete For Pilot Reactor In Helsinki
- Finnish small modular reactor (SMR) startup Steady Energy announced that first concrete has been poured for the country’s first small nuclear reactor heating pilot plant in central Helsinki.
- The pilot facility, developed by Steady Energy, is being built in the turbine hall of the Salmisaari B coal-fired power plant.
- The full-scale pilot of Steady Energy’s LDR‑50 nuclear plant, will use an electric resistor that simulates the decay heat produced by an actual reactor.
US Military Airlifts Next-Generation Nuclear Microreactor In Historic First Operation
- The US on 15 February conducted its first air transport of a nuclear microreactor, flying the unit aboard a C-17 Globemaster III aircraft from California to Utah.
- The next-generation Ward 250 nuclear reactor was loaded aboard a C-17 Globemaster III aircraft at March Air Reserve Base, California, for transport to Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
- The US military wants to deploy mobile nuclear microreactors to ensure, resilient, carbon-free and independent power for remote bases and critical infrastructure.
美 딥피션, 지하 1.6㎞ '중력반응로' 개발…원전 건설비 80% 절감 성공
- 미국 원자력 스타트업 딥피션(Deep Fission)이 원자로를 지하 1마일(약 1.6㎞) 깊이에설치하는 혁신 기술로 건설비를 최대 80%까지 낮추는 데 성공했다고 보도했다.
- 딥피션은 이른바 '중력반응로(gravity reactor)' 모델에 8000만 달러(약 1150억 원) 규모 투자를 새로 유치했다.
- 이 기술은 15메가와트급 가압경수로(PWR)를 지하 1마일 깊이 시추공 바닥에 설치하는 방식이다.
