Highlights
Small modular reactor design could be a 'SUPERSTAR'
Feb. 9, 2012
At the U.S. Department
of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, a team led by senior nuclear engineer James Sienicki
has designed a new small reactor cooled by lead—the Sustainable Proliferation-resistance
Enhanced Refined Secure Transportable Autonomous Reactor, or SUPERSTAR for short…
