| Year of design | 2013 |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | General Atomics |
| Power output | Variable; 1 - 50 MWe |
| Fuel | Tri-Structural Isotopic (TRISO) Microparticle |
| Lifespan | 5 years per fuel cycle 25 years total |
| Units produced | 374 |
| Variants | |
| N50GE-E | Export variant (unfuelled, advanced proprietary technology substituted for generic components) |
| N50GE-I | Infrastructural power generation, permanent integration into power grids |
| N50GE-M | Marine propulsion (inbuilt direct mechanical linkage, fine control of mechanical output) |
| N50GE-N | Naval power generation |
| N50GE-P | Portable power generation (disaster zones, other temporary facilities, etc.) |
| N50GE-S | Spacecraft power generation (aerospace-grade, self-contained, long-life unit) |
TRISO fuel - practically meltdown immune
Scalable - 1 to 50 MWe output
Average of 5 years operation per fuelling; 5 refuel cycles per unit for 25 year lifespan
