MicroURANUS
In traditional SMRs, frequent nuclear fuel replacement can pose disadvantages in terms of safety, environmental protection, economics, nuclear security, and public acceptance.
MicroURANUS is the world’s first commercial reactor capable of generating power for 40 years on a single load of low-enriched uranium fuel (12%). Using lead-bismuth liquid metal coolant, with a boiling point of 1,670°C at atmospheric pressure, it completely eliminates the risk of meltdown, hydrogen explosions, and any external release of radiation beyond permissible levels.
This groundbreaking innovation is made possible by AFATi, a next-generation material that simultaneously solves the challenges of lead-bismuth corrosion and fast neutron damage. Due to the low-pressure coolant, the design of MicroURANUS is compact—about the size of a limousine bus—and is optimized for automated production technologies.
All spent nuclear fuel is recycled, producing approximately 100 times more energy with the same amount of uranium compared to light-water or gas-cooled reactors, leaving no high-level radioactive waste behind.
