Nuclear Turbines is a spinoff of BAE Systems that develops new nuclear reactor with high-temperature turbine (instead of steam turbine), which will lead to lower energy costs. The reactor directly heats compressed air before returning it to the turbine at high temperature to generate electricity, uses novel reactor materials and bypasses the need for graphite. The high-temperature gas turbine (normally found in jet engines and gas-fired power plants) converts extremely hot air directly into power with very little energy loss.
