The SC-GFR design is an SMR concept (200-400 MWth), using AGR oxide fuel technology and natural circulation for decay heat removal. Design features to deal with LOCAs have yet to be incorporated into the SC-GFR concept, but SNL’s work explores the use of natural circulation, blow-down tanks, and guard vessels as potential safety features. The SC-GFR concept operates at power densities near 80-100 W/cc for the core, similar to the other concepts, but uses pin-type fuel with steel cladding. In general, the SC-GFR concept is most like the Japanese TIT concept, except that oxide fuel has been selected because the high core pressure may compress the cladding onto the fuel. At this operating pressure, it is doubtful that metal fuels could withstand the compressive stresses on the fuel without extruding the fuel into the fission gas plenum. The major difference between the SC- GFR concept and the others is that this effort proposes to use natural circulation as a passive safety mechanism to remove decay heat. This mechanism is described in a subsequent section of this report. Natural circulation for decay heat removal was proposed in the MIT concept for long-term cooling, while they relied on separate low-power pumps to provide forced cooling for short-term cooling. 13

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
