IFR[edit]

PRISM looks very much like Integral Fast Reactor by another name according to this article.

Similarities: Sodium pool LMFR, onsite pyroprocessing by electrorefining (here called ARC or Advanced Recycling Center).

Questions: Metal fuel, with stainless cladding and sodium filled void? How is it cast?

From news July 2018 it sounds like "GE Hitachi" is now collaborating with "Advanced Reactor Concepts" to build the rector ARC-100 type (in New Brunswick Canada), which again seems to be a variant of the Integral Fast Reactor and in particular a refinement of the Experimental Breeder Reactor II. See https://www.arcnuclear.com/arc-100-reactor and http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/NN-First-partner-announced-for-New-Brunswick-SMR-project-1007187.html . Anyone wants to put something like this on the main page (I really feel not qualified to edit it). 83.10.78.150 (talk) 19:50, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
