Its fuel system uses 200,000 continuously cycling pebbles, each embedded with 18,000 TRISO particles, containing a uranium core protected by carbon layers. The compact design contains over 99.99% of byproducts, reducing the need for large containment structures. Helium, which absorbs heat without becoming radioactive, drives the reactor\u2019s steam turbine. The reactor has a 60-year-lifetime, producing baseload, carbon-free power.
