Pebble-bed Reactors

Pebble-Bed Reactors is a type of high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor that uses spherical fuel elements, or "pebbles," containing coated particles of uranium fuel embedded in a graphite matrix, which enables inherent safety characteristics through passive heat dissipation and negative temperature reactivity feedback.
