NAAREA: Molten Salt Microreactors and Nuclear Waste-to-Energy Architectures
Strategic analysis of NAAREA’s XAMR® microreactor technology. Mapping fourth-generation molten salt architectures, plutonium recycling, and decentralized energy resilience
NAAREA is a French nuclear energy startup developing an innovative fourth-generation molten-salt microreactor (XAMR®) that burns plutonium and long-lived radioactive waste to produce heat and power[1][2]. By recycling spent nuclear fuel in a closed loop, NAAREA’s technology aims to deliver carbon-free, 24/7 power in a decentralized fashion near industri…
