Chapter 418
When the path to commercialization of the Traveling Wave Reactor (TWR) was opened, not just the Russian media but media outlets worldwide reported on it extensively.
This once again proved the underlying strength of Russian nuclear physics.
Just because the TWR has been created doesn’t mean we can immediately replace the power plants currently in operation. However, TWRs will become the standard for nuclear power plants built in the future.
This is because they are superior to existing plants in every aspect.
There are concerns that, as a brand-new technology, we don't yet know what problems might arise during long-term operation, but these worries will likely disappear within the next year or two.
