Seattle firm Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC)’s micro modular reactor (MMR), currently in development, is designed to deliver ‘safe, clean, and cost-effective’ electricity to urban areas, large industrial users, and off-grid locations. Using encapsulated Triso particle fuel and cooled by helium, the MMR will be partially manufactured using a new 3D-printing method that uses binder jet printing as the additive manufacturing technique, and a ceramic production process called chemical vapour infiltration. Together, the processes can print refractory materials, which are … read more »
