The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) will award $38 million to 12 projects that will work to reduce the impacts of light-water reactor used nuclear fuel (UNF) disposal. Upon discharge from a nuclear reactor, the UNF is initially stored in steel-lined concrete pools surrounded by water.

In September 2021, at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center , the team energized the magnet and watched as the field it produced strengthened to an intense 20 tesla—about 400,000 times as strong as the typical value for Earth’s magnetic field, and more than strong enough to lift an aircraft carrier out of the water.

Using reflective mirrors, the sun’s radiation will heat a liquid salt within each receiver. A specialized molten salt transport system will then move the high-temperature fluid to a molten-salt steam generator that produces electricity. The system will also feature a thermal storage system.

A smart meter is a digital device that records and monitors the consumption of electricity, gas, or water in a home or business. Mechanical Storage: Flywheels: These devices store kinetic energy in a spinning rotor and convert it back to electricity when needed. The stored ice is then used to cool buildings during peak demand times.
