Cooling towers of a nuclear reactor in Belgium
The steel used to build existing nuclear power stations may not be suitable in lead cooled fast reactors (LCFR). Research from the Division of Nuclear Science and Engineering at KTH reveals new details that explain why. Pictured, the Doel nuclear power station in Belgium. (Photo: Werner Lerooy/Mostphotos)

Study explains why new kinds of steel needed to build lead cooled reactors

Promising safer operation, better fuel efficiency and lower waste, lead-cooled nuclear power represents a potentially dramatic shift from the water-cooled nuclear stations the world has relied on sinc...
