Book: Nuclear is Hot; From Glowing Steel to Public Support

Energy Central

New nuclear reactors exploit heat in fluids such as molten salts, liquid sodium, or helium gas. Their red-hot temperatures in the range of 650-800C puts nearly 50% more of the reactor’s fission energy into electric energy than conventional PWRs at 300C put in steam systems of conventional turbines. High heat from these reactors is the new benefit of nuclear power.
