The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

The reactor would produce steam to spin turbines that would generate electricity to power motors. Launched in 2021, the company has designed a lead-cooled reactor that aims to produce its own fuel by recycling the by-products of conventional reactors, “offering a circular solution to nuclear waste,” he says. How is it arranged?
