Multi-recyclable fuel
The circular economy of nuclear fuels
The Stellarium's ability to feed on materials unused by today's nuclear power plants means it can be easily integrated into the fuel cycle. After 20 years in the reactor, the fuel salt is recycled for reuse in existing power stations or other Stellariums. After the first cycle, there's no need for mines and 99% less CO2 emissions than coal and gas.
1. Waste recovery
The unused materials from today's nuclear power plants are melted into the salts fueling the Stellarium. Its fuel supply is multi-fuel, including uranium, thorium, plutonium, and americium.
2. Creating and purifying salts
After spent fuel reprocessing, the salts are assembled according to customer requirements, transported as solid granules, and then melted down in the reactor.
3. Regeneration, fission, incineration
The Stellarium regenerates as much fuel as it burns by regenerating and fissioning liquid fuel in situ. It can also destroy minor actinides and preserve plutonium quality for future generations.
4. Multi-recycling
After 20 years of faithful service, the salt is recycled and purified. It can be returned to the cycle indefinitely.
Ultra low-carbon
According to the study conducted by EDF on CO2 emissions into the atmosphere from different energy sources, it's a crushing victory for nuclear power. At 4 g / KWh, the Stellarium provides a definitive solution for electricity production sites.
