The
Gas Turbine – Modular Helium Reactor is now feasible because
of four recent technical advances:
- Modular
helium reactors with inherent safety characteristics, capable
of producing very high gas temperatures;
- High-efficiency
gas turbines developed for the airline and the utility industries;
- Plate-fin
heat exchanger technology;
- Frictionless
magnetic bearings.
The
result is a simplified power cycle with very high efficiency and
reliability, and low power cost. Thermal efficiencies are increased
by 50% relative to conventional nuclear reactor plants. Current
reactors produce 50% more high-level waste per kWh of electricity
than the GT-MHR.
No
CO2, no acid rain, a hundred thousand times less waste
volume than coal, conservation of limited natural resources. . .
plus, safety through the laws of nature. The meltdown-proof Gas
Turbine MHR. . . to power the world into a new century.
