The term advanced<\/em> in nuclear is used loosely to mean “reactors that are better than ones you’re worried about”. Due to the fact that a huge number of somewhat exotic reactor types were built and tested in the 1950s and 1960s, the<\/a> term is somewhat misleading and complex. Depending on who you talk to, advanced reactors can mean a number of quite different things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/font>Definition 1: Reactors that incorporated hard-learned lessons from the past into the design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These advanced reactors have incorporated real-world, experience-informed lessons learned from previous versions of any given reactor to make them into newer, better, more optimized models. They generally have been built before, have existing supply chains, have licenses from the regulators, and are sitting around ready for people to purchase them. Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
