美国加速发展先进的无碳电力核反应堆,获得9 000万美元的资金。 US speeds up development of advanced nuclear reactors for carbon-free electricity, receiving $900m in funding.

美国正在加快努力,为下一代核反应堆发放许可证并建造这种反应堆,以生产无碳电力,重点是小型模块式反应堆和先进的反应堆,使用液态金属、氦或液态盐等替代冷却剂进行更安全的操作。 The US is accelerating efforts to license and construct next-generation nuclear reactors to produce carbon-free electricity, focusing on small modular reactors and advanced reactors using alternative coolants like liquid metal, helium, or liquid salt for safer operations. 国会和行政部门都支持加速发展,美国能源部已宣布提供9 000万美元的资金。 Both Congress and the administration support the faster development, and the US Energy Department has announced $900m in funding. 这些反应堆可能是一种气候解决办法,因为它们不排放温室气体,而且它们上网的时间表不确定,如果得到批准,TerraPower的项目将在2030年在怀俄明进行商业运营。 These reactors can be a climate solution as they don't emit greenhouse gases, and the timeline for them to come online is uncertain, with TerraPower's project aiming for commercial operation in Wyoming in 2030 if approved.
