Yes, it is a well known design concept, but has not been exploited in a commercial power plant yet. There is a possibility of this either in China or South Africa. See Wikipedia entry on 'Pebble bed reactor' for a description and discussion of future possibilities.
The Pebble Beach Bed and Trundle uses a coaster to slide the trundle under the bed.
There are 1. Light water reactors. PWR and BWR, 2. Heavy water reactors, CANDU mainly, 3. Gas cooled reactors, mainly magnox and AGR in the UK, possibly pebble bed reactors not yet built 4. 'Fast' reactors which do not use moderators, liquid metal cooled. 5. Small research reactors also used to produce radioisotopes for medical and industrial use.There are a few other diverse types like the Russian RBMK (Chernobyl), now obsolete.
Things will likely go on as they are for many years, using PWR and BWR designs, with some Candus. High temperature helium cooled reactors with pebble bed fuel may be developed. Fast reactors which breed fuel from U238 or Thorium are another possibility. In the long run (and I mean 50+ years) fusion may be successful.
Packed bed reactors typically use either continuous flow or batch operation control schemes. Continuous flow control involves regulating reactant feed rates and temperature to maintain desired reactor conditions. Batch operation control focuses on monitoring and adjusting parameters (such as temperature and pressure) over a set time period for each batch of reactants.
The population of Beter Bed is 2,008.
