Radiant microreactor contains 120 million poppy seed-sized ceramic fuel kernels
“What we're doing is these tiny poppy seed size kernels of fuel. There are about a hundred and twenty million of them. For a hundred kilograms of uranium and this is all in a core that's, you know, only four feet in diameter.”

Assertion Supported
Ceramic-coated TRISO nuclear fuel cannot melt down up to 1600°C
“The temperature limit of the fuel becomes this extremely high value, and you can go to about 1600 Celsius before there's an appreciable failure rate of the ceramic coated fuel. So what it means is you can't melt down the fuel.”
