The total estimated volume of recoverable heavy oil is almost the same as the remaining light reserves in the world. With the depletion of light oil resources and rising energy demands, the successful recovery of heavy oil is becoming increasingly important. —Yuichiro Nagatsu, corresponding author. —Yuichiro Nagatsu.

Most nuclear plants around the world today are large light-water reactors, with capacities well over a gigawatt—quite a bit more than typical coal plants. Large reactors need consistent and prolific water sources to cool themselves, something not every old coal plant can provide. Either option will be an uphill battle.

The TWR commercial reactor plant design is a 1,150 MW liquid-sodium-cooled fast reactor that uses depleted uranium as fuel. The novel design allows for the use of depleted uranium generated by the enrichment process used for existing light water reactors fueled with enriched uranium. Source: TerraPower. Click to enlarge.

The area, said to be the driest region on earth, has long been a premier source of sodium nitrate, or saltpeter. The level of detail in this image is startling, considering that it would take 9,100 years of travel at the speed of light to reach this gas cloud from Earth. Light Makes Might. That’s a long commute.

Horizon will introduce a micro-fuel cell power supply called MiniPak, which extends the off-grid runtimes of small electronic devices including cell phones, lighting products, and many USB powered devices. HydroPak offers 60W output (120W peak) using water-activated sodium borohydride cartridges supplied by Horizon.

Among other things, the demonstration project will evaluate the reduction in steam requirements with the goal to develop a technology that can potentially significantly lower the cumulative steam-to-oil ratio and water treatment costs associated with steam generation. Alberta Innovates is providing $2,000,000; NRCan is providing $7,525,000.
