What features do you want in a new nuclear reactor design?
I want:
1) no pressure above 1 atm in reactor (OK in secondary heat loop and turbine)
2) passively cooled on shutdown (planned and unplanned)
3) waste lifetime < 1000 years
4) small amount of waste (relative to current day LWR)
5) known reserves of fuel for 200 years of planet at 10 billion people each at 1KW continuous
As far as I can tell LFTR reactors meet all of these. What are you looking for and do you see a reactor design that meets all your goals?
