…reactor. The BN-350 operated between 1972 and 1999 and produced both electricity and process heat for desalination. Two additional SFRs, BN-600 and BN-800, came online in 1980 and 2014, and are considered commercially successful. As of 2024, the BN-800 reactor has a capacity factor above 80% and has…
