- Nuclear power reactors, reactor types and technologies | IAEA
Nuclear power reactors produce energy by initiating and controlling a sustained nuclear chain reaction Currently, over 400 such reactors in 32 countries provide about 10 per cent of the world’s electricity The IAEA fosters an international information exchange and collaboration on technological innovations in different reactor technologies
- What are Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs)? | IAEA
Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and or the coolant is a molten salt Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store massive amounts of thermal energy at atmospheric pressure When used as fuel the molten salt is dissolved with fissile material A fissile material is defined as one which is capable of fission (a
- Nuclear Power Reactors in the World | IAEA
This is the 44th edition of Reference Data Series No 2, which presents the most recent reactor data available to the IAEA It contains summarized information as of the end of 2023 on power reactors operating, under construction and shut down as well as performance data on reactors operating in the IAEA Member States
- Nuclear Research reactor applications | IAEA
Research reactor applications Research reactors play an important role in the development of nuclear science and technology They are used for basic research, radioisotope production, neutron scattering and radiography, and material characterization and testing
- Research Reactor Database (RRDB) | IAEA
The IAEA's Research Reactor Database (RRDB) is an authoritative database containing technical information on over 800 research reactors, including critical and sub-critical assemblies in 67 countries
- IAEA Completes Integrated Safety Assessment Mission for Bolivias First . . .
An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team of experts said that the Agency for Nuclear Energy of Bolivia (ABEN), operator of Bolivia's first nuclear research reactor (RB‑01) that is under construction, has developed a management system implementing the IAEA's safety standards As ABEN approaches completion of the construction phase and prepares to commission the reactor, the review
- What are Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)? | IAEA
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW (e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors
- Small Modular Reactors: Advances in SMR Developments 2024
This publication aims to provide Member States with a concise overview of the latest developments regarding SMR technology worldwide It explores SMRs under development, their potential growth trajectory, and the lifecycle of SMR development from concept to decommissioning It also examines the unique global role the IAEA plays in supporting the establishment of sustainable nuclear power
