International Youth Nuclear Congress (IYNC)

Check out this incredible cutaway of the DRAGON Reactor, a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) built in the 1960s in Winfrith, UK. Designed to test advanced nuclear fuel and high-efficiency cooling, DRAGON was a pioneer in gas-cooled reactor technology. This detailed layout from Nuclear Engineering International captures the core, heat exchangers, and control systems - a remarkable engineering achievement!?

In this episode of Going Nuclear, I chat with Thomas R. at the International Youth Nuclear Congress (IYNC) to learn about the German Nuclear Industry. We delve into the historical context of Germany's nuclear energy production, the impact of political decisions on the current workforce, and the potential for revitalizing nuclear engineering education. Despite the challenges, there is a glimmer of hope as other countries embrace nuclear energy, and we explore how Germany might follow suit. Join us as we navigate the complexities of the nuclear industry and consider what the future may hold for aspiring nuclear engineers in Germany. ??

The Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS), located in Rawatbhata, Rajasthan, is one of India’s largest nuclear power facilities, contributing to low-carbon, reliable electricity. It consists of six operational Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) with a total capacity of 1,180 MW, while two more 700 PHWRs are under construction. As a crucial part of India's nuclear energy program, Rajasthan NPP plays a vital role in reducing fossil fuel dependence and supporting the nation’s net-zero goals. With ongoing advancements, it continues to drive India toward a sustainable and energy-secure future! ?? #CleanEnergyWithoutBorders

Located in the scenic valleys of France, Chooz NPP is a leader in clean, low-carbon energy. It houses two pressurized water reactors (PWRs) with a total capacity of 3,000 MW, supplying electricity to millions while reducing carbon emissions. Chooz also plays a role in neutrino detection experiments, contributing to cutting-edge research in fundamental physics and #CleanEnergyWithoutBorders!

Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs) use liquid sodium instead of water for cooling, allowing for higher efficiency, passive safety, and the ability to recycle nuclear waste. This advanced design reduces long-term radioactive materials while operating at higher temperatures for better energy conversion. Projects like BN-800 and TerraPower’s Natrium are showcasing the potential of SFR technology in advancing clean, sustainable, and efficient nuclear energy. With their ability to enhance fuel efficiency and support a net-zero world, SFRs are redefining the future of clean energy! ?? #AdvancedReactors
