Dual Fluid Energy

🇩🇪 Berlin, DE · Active

Dual Fluid is a reactor developer headquartered in Berlin, Germany, whose founders come from the Institute for Solid-State Nuclear Physics in Berlin. Its design uses two separate circulating liquids in place of fuel rods: one carries the nuclear fuel and the other removes the heat, which it says lets the reactor run at about 1,000 °C. It says the reactor regulates itself because the fuel expands and becomes less reactive as it heats, and that if cooling fails a frozen plug of fuel melts and drains the fuel into underground tanks. It markets two designs, the DF-300 and the larger DF-1500, but publishes no power rating for them on its site.
