The reactor is based on the idea that compressing ... This particular state of matter is known as "supercritical water." Igor Novosselov, senior author on the new research, said water that is ...

Thus, the SCWR concepts combine the design and operation experiences gained from hundreds of water-cooled reactors with those experiences from hundreds of fossil-fired power plants operated with ...

The researchers created a reactor that can completely break down hard-to-destroy chemicals using "supercritical water," which is formed at high temperature and pressure. This technology could help ...

To improve plant thermal efficiencies and economics, research and development for Supercritical Water Reactors (SCWRs) is being pursued. Supercritical water exists at temperatures and pressures above ...

Supercritical water of interest as a solvent Supercritical water occurs naturally on Earth, for example in the deep sea, where black smokers—a type of hydrothermal vent—create harsh conditions ...
