HTRE-2, left, and HTRE-3, right, on display at the Experimental Breeder Reactor I facility. The Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion (ANP) program and the preceding Nuclear Energy for the Propulsion of Aircraft (NEPA) project worked to develop a nuclear propulsion system for aircraft. The United States Army Air Forces initiated Project NEPA on May 28 ...
HTRE-2, a nuclear aircraft engine prototype at the Idaho National Laboratory Experimental HTRE reactors for nuclear aircraft (HTRE-2 left and HTRE-3 right), on display at Idaho National Laboratory near Arco, Idaho. Two General Electric J87 turbojet engines were
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory researched and developed nuclear aircraft engines. Two shielded reactors powered two General Electric J87 turbojet engines to nearly full thrust. Two experimental reactors, HTRE-2 with its turbojet engines intact, and HTRE-3 with its engines removed, are at the EBR-1 facility south of the Idaho National ...
The company was founded in Coral Gables, Florida, in 2008.The two founders invested US$250 million in equity in January 2010. [4] [5]In July 2010, AerSale delivered a specially modified Boeing 737-400 aircraft to the National Nuclear Security Administration to fly depleted nuclear waste to disposal sites. [6]
Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant is a facility located in Scioto Township, Pike County, Ohio, just south of Piketon, Ohio, that previously produced enriched uranium, including highly enriched weapons-grade uranium, for the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), the U.S. nuclear weapons program and Navy nuclear propulsion; in later years, it produced low-enriched uranium for fuel for ...
Did HTRE 2 become HTRE 3 or was HTRE 2 the same hardware as HTRE 1 with a different core? --Wtshymanski 22:23, 3 June 2010 (UTC) The J-47 engines were horizontal on both assemblies. They had to link up with fixzed ducting that led to an exhaust stack. It is the reactor vessels that are vertical (HTRE 1&2) and horizontal (HTRE-3).
MSR research started with the U.S. Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE) in support of the U.S. Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion program. ARE was a 2.5 MW th nuclear reactor experiment designed to attain a high energy density for use as an engine in a nuclear-powered bomber.
General Electric Company, doing business as GE Aerospace, [5] is an American aircraft engine supplier that is headquartered in Evendale, Ohio, outside Cincinnati.It is the legal successor to the original General Electric Company founded in 1892, which split into three separate companies between November 2021 and April 2024, adopting the trade name GE Aerospace after divesting its healthcare ...
