in general differ from larger conventional ones by requiring less fuel, being safer, offering more flexibility in location and having the ability to be prefabricated and shipped, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. More than 70 commercial reactor designs are being developed worldwide, the IAEA said.
The design has features that are interesting, Matthews said by email, “however, it has a very low technology readiness level and would require a lot of work to confirm that the design is feasible.” “The Dual Fluid technology has nuclear safety design features that make it accident-free,” Ndahayo asserted in the statement. “The technology will produce relatively low amounts of radioactive waste that will be safely managed” along international safety standards.
