Nuclear reactor core with rotating fuel modules and related systems

Abstract

Nuclear reactor cores and related systems are described herein. An example nuclear reactor core includes a plurality of fuel modules, where each of the plurality of fuel modules includes nuclear fuel; at least one fuel-module actuator mechanically coupled to at least one of the plurality of fuel modules, where the at least one fuel-module actuator is configured to rotate the at least one of the plurality of fuel modules; and at least one neutron source configured to emit neutrons and trigger a fission chain reaction in the at least one of the plurality of fuel modules.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
