Heat pipes are passive heat transport devices eliminating the need for reactor coolant and associated systems and cooling water. They are self regulating and based upon proven technology.
TRISO fuel has been used for decades and is the safest and most robust fuel available that can withstand very high temperatures.
Redundant and diverse shutdown rods and control drums.
High efficiency heat transfer capable of providing and supporting heat and power. High temperature capability (up to 800°C).
Graphite has been used in nuclear reactors for decades. It moderates neutrons to improve the fuel utilization. Graphite is used around the core, drum and reflector.
Control drum ensures safe operation by controlling the reactivity and shutdown of the reactor.
Compact size and simplicity with minimal moving parts allows for low maintenance, and high reliability
