This reactor is ideal for high-temperature industrial processes such as metal and non-metal melting and smelting and coking, and is modular for flexibility in power needs and applications like load-following renewables, since it can ramp up and down quickly. It is also very effective in the process of water desalination.
The complete HTGR power plant has a small physical footprint, only 200 meters by 100 meters with a small emergency planning zone essentially within its own gates, and a reduced water requirement which means it can be installed in a much wider range of potential locations compared to other clean energy systems.
Watch WesFort Energy associate, Professor David Ruzic, explain the minimal radiation impact that the HTGR plant has to humans living in close proximity.
An interesting observation is that humans are exposed to more radiation by taking a cross country flight, or eating a banana, than living in the close proximity of a nuclear power plant.
A lack of education and misinformation, are often the basis of many fears regarding Nuclear Power generation, and it's influences on society.
