The spark of the Super: Teller–Ulam and the birth of the H-bomb—rivalry, credit, and legacy at 75 years
In early 1951, Los Alamos scientists Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam devised a breakthrough that would lead to the hydrogen bomb [1].

The United States has the most advanced reactor innovators in the world. New designs are being developed from microreactors (a few megawatt electric) to large gigawatt-class machines with all sizes in between. Different technologies are being explored and different applications, both commercial and non-commercial. It is truly an exciting time with developer activity and customer interest. Are you familiar with how many projects are underway? Are you familiar with the various designs or potential uses for advanced reactors? This webinar provides an overview of advanced reactors, the ongoing projects, their potential uses, and fuel cycle prospects.
