4、ooled ReactorsAdvanced Reactor Demonstration Program(ARDP)Introduction+Some advanced reactors can start up independently,something thatfew power plants today can do.This“blackstart”capability will speedrestoration of the energy grid in case of an energy grid blackout.+Most will produce heat at highe
5、r temperatures than most reactorstoday,so that they can replace fossil fuels in a wide variety ofindustries and produce electricity more ef?ciently.+Advanced nuclear reactors are also small enough that they can be part of integrated energy systems,for example,where their wasteheat can be used to mee
6、t local heating requirements.+They are being designed for ease of manufacture and operation,so their costs will be lower and their potential for malfunction willbe even more limited than in current-generation reactors.Advanced reactors are as different from one another as gouda and gorgonzola,as Bee
