Gen4 Energy
Gen4 Energy, Inc (formerly Hyperion Power Generation, Inc.〔(Hyperion Power Generation Inc. Announces Change of Company Name to Gen4 Energy, Inc. ), 13 March 2012, BusinessWire〕) is a privately held corporation formed to construct and sell several designs of relatively small (70 MW thermal, 25 MW electric) nuclear reactors, which they claim will be modular, inexpensive, inherently safe, and proliferation-resistant. According to news coverage, these reactors could be used for heat generation, production of electricity, and other purposes, including desalinization.
The company is currently attempting to license their technologies through the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
==Revised 2009 design: uranium nitride fueled, lead-bismuth cooled reactor==
Hyperion announced in November 2009 that, despite their continued intentions to pursue the self-moderated uranium hydride reactor, urgent customer needs for a rapidly licenseable and deployable reactor are causing them to choose another LANL design for initial commercialization. They are moving forward with a more conventional Generation IV reactor design: a uranium nitride fueled, lead-bismuth cooled reactor. Using a liquid-metal-cooled fast reactor should speed the time to commercialization over the more revolutionary uranium hydride, self-modulating design that had previously been publicly discussed.〔(Hyperion launches U2N3-fuelled, Pb-Bi-cooled fast reactor ), 20 November 2009, Nuclear Engineering International〕
