LoopCask, the cask that cools itself
LoopCask presents a sealed passive cooling loop for storing spent nuclear fuel, using decay heat to circulate water without pumps, valves, or outside air.
Why it surfaced
This is an unusually concrete nuclear-storage invention: vapor rises through an inner passage, condenses against a finned collar above grade, and returns by gravity. The site pairs the mechanism with screening figures, a historical timeline, and a claim of three granted U.S. patents—ambitious engineering presented with unusually direct copy.
