A nuclear fuel cell includes a net neutron-producing material, a neutron-consuming material, and a neutron-moderating material. Upon exposure of the net-producing material, the neutron-moderating material, and the neutron-consuming material to a neutron source, a ratio of the net neutron-producing material to (i) the neutron-consuming material and (ii) the neutron-moderating material is operable to convert neutrons into charged particles without producing net neutrons.

A reactor cooling and power generation system according to the present disclosure includes a reactor vessel, a heat exchange section formed to receive heat generated from a core inside the reactor vessel, from a feedwater system through a fluid, and an electric power production section. A Stirling engine is provided to produce electric energy using the energy of the fluid whose temperature has increased while receiving the heat of the reactor. The system is formed to circulate the fluid that has received heat from the core in the heat exchange section through the electric power production section. The system operates even during a normal operation and during an accident of the nuclear power plant. The reactor cooling and power generation system accompanies a nuclear reactor vessel which includes a reactor coolant system, a feedwater system and a steam generator. A turbine produces electric power from the feed water system.

The reactor core includes at least one module, solid and liquid neutron moderators. The module contains a casing, at least one heat pipe, one fuel element and thermal insulation. The heat pipe is in the shape of a casing with a wick and contains a coolant. The fuel element is made of nuclear fuel, arranged in the evaporation area of the heat pipe around its casing in thermal contact with it, and enclosed in a can. Low-melting metals with a high boiling point are used as the coolant of the heat pipe. Thermal insulation is arranged between the can and the casing of the module. At least one hole is made in the solid neutron moderator, in which at least one module is arranged. The space between the casing of the module and the solid neutron moderator is filled with a liquid neutron moderator.
