The reactor uses tiny balls of fuel and heats gas to generate electricity.
In what can be termed a significant achievement in the development of next-generation nuclear reactor technology, China claims to have successfully commissioned the world’s first Generation IV commercial nuclear reactor.
The Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Plant’s HTR-PM high-temperature gas-cooled (HTGR) pebble-bed reactor, situated in Shidao Bay, Shandong Province, reportedly commenced operations earlier this month. According to China’s National Energy Administration (NEA), the feat was achieved following a 168-hour demonstration run on December 6.
The HTR-PM Demo project is a joint initiative led by Tsinghua University for R&D and primary components/systems design, China Huaneng Group Co. as the plant owner and operator, and China National Nuclear Co. (CNNC) serving as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor and fuel manufacturer.
The operation cost for the Digit robot is reportedly estimated to be in the range of $10 to $12 per hour.
In a significant leap toward the future, humanoid robots are quietly but steadily becoming an integral part of our daily lives, taking on a myriad of tasks that were once solely the domain of living beings. From assisting with household chores to working alongside humans in professional settings, these machines are slowly reshaping how we live and work.
One of the largest logistics providers, GXO Logistics, has introduced another instance of humanoid robots in warehouse operations by deploying Agility Robotics’ Digit. The robot is undergoing a pilot testing program for logistics tasks at the SPANX facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia.
Over the past 8.5 years, its predecessor, the K5, has successfully patrolled diverse locations across the US, contributing significantly to crime reduction and ensuring safety in various environments, claims the firm.
Knightscope, a prominent developer of autonomous security robots, has officially commenced the shipment of its highly anticipated 5th Generation K5 Autonomous Security Robot (ASR), the company announced in a press release.
This represents a significant milestone for the company and marks a thorough redesign to elevate the flagship ASR’s capabilities. Production is in full swing at Knightscope’s Silicon Valley Headquarters. It is proudly made in America, with machines ready to fulfill nationwide contracts.
