The Neutron Activation Reactor, Lithium (NARLi)
The Neutron Activation Reactor, Lithium (NARLi), generates clean electricity by using low-energy neutrons to activate lithium-7, producing heat without nuclear fission or long-lived radioactive waste, and can use recycled lithium from batteries as fuel.
Background:
Nuclear energy has long been recognized as a powerful means of generating large-scale...

Lithium-7-Powered Nuclear Fission Subcritical Reactor: Safe Nuclear Power
A lithium-based fission reactor that generates safe, clean electricity while reducing the amount of discarded lithium batteries that end up in landfills.
Background:
Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal, have still failed to replace coal, oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels, despite decades of technology development...
