A Natrium reactor is a fast reactor using molten sodium as the coolant. Development funded by Bill Gates. Like the MCSFR, capable of burning spent nuclear fuel. [1]
This is a suggested outline for an article on a specific reactor design.
It should address the issues raised in the parent article Nuclear power reconsidered
Brief description of the key features of this reactor.[3]
