What these terms mean

Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.

Reactor developer
Develops a fission reactor design. Carries no implication that anything is licensed, funded or built.
Fission
Advanced and small modular fission reactor developers, plus established reactor vendors.
High-temperature gas-cooled reactor › › High-temperature gas-cooled reactor
Helium-cooled and graphite-moderated, running far hotter than a water reactor. The high outlet temperature suits industrial process heat as well as electricity.
TRISO particle fuel
Fuel kernels wrapped in layers of carbon and silicon carbide, each particle its own containment vessel. Retains fission products to very high temperature.
High-assay low-enriched uranium
5–20% U-235. The binding supply constraint for most advanced reactor designs.

In Radiant’s own words

Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.

Hundreds of units can autonomously operate with data streaming back to Radiant’s centralized 24/7 fleet monitoring system tracking the health of each reactor.

Where Radiant sits

Composed from records in this dataset, not from outside research. Every figure below is counted from what the site holds, so it moves when the data does.

Radiant is one of 7 organisations in this dataset pursuing htgr.

It is one of 103 we hold in US.
