Used GES CAYMAN #9352256 for sale

GES CAYMAN is a Generation IV nuclear reactor developed by General Atomics. It is a simplified and cost-efficient version of the Generation IV Molten-Salt Reactor (MSR) design developed by General Atomics. CAYMAN is a sodium-cooled, fast-neutron reactor design that leverages the existing molten-salt technology for superior fuel management and nuclear waste minimization. GES CAYMAN features a unique combination of safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Its design reduces the potential for catastrophic accidents, as its cooling equipment utilizes the isolated properties of molten sodium cooled by pressurized gas. This helps mitigate any risk of a severe nuclear accident while also providing a highly efficient energy solution. The reactor's core features a temperature control system which helps manage the temperature of the sodium to keep it close to a 2,100-degree Fahrenheit operating range. This unit also works to reduce and eliminate significant portions of residual radioactive heat from the other components of the reactor, improving overall efficiency. Additionally, CAYMAN utilizes a unique heat exchange machine which separates and recycles the most short-lived fission products. This helps to reduce the long-term radioactive waste byproducts of the reactor. GES CAYMAN design is built on many decades of nuclear energy experience and is highly innovative and efficient compared to traditional reactor designs. It features an innovative three-loop structure which helps to minimize salt inventory used in the reactor, resulting in superior fuel management and significantly lower operating costs. This design also enables easier fuel cycle changes when switching from uranium to thorium based fuel and vice versa based on the current power needs. Furthermore, CAYMAN design is highly durable and requires less frequent maintenance than traditional reactor designs. Its unique construction can result in reduced maintenance costs and better long-term sustainability. This, combined with its advanced safety features and efficient fuel consumption, make GES CAYMAN a leading choice for innovative and reliable nuclear reactor designs.
