A Look At Sub Critical Reactors and the Potential

July 13, 2010 | 10 Comments

Virginia Tech is said to researching accelerator-driven reactor designs with its GEM*STAR collaboration project. The idea of a sub-critical reactor is to have a sub-critical reaction running that is kept going by supplementing it with an external source of neutrons.  A particle accelerator supplies the necessary neutrons. Thus what exists is a sub-critical atomic fission […]
