Pebble bed modular reactor was created in 1994.
Pebble bed modular reactor's population is 900.
Pebble bed modular reactor's population is 9.
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.

Different types of nuclear plants: Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR); Boiling Water Reactor (BWR); Heavy Water Moderated Reactor (CANDU); Advanced Gascooled Reactor (AGR); Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR); Pebble Bed Gascooled Reactor; Water Cooled Graphite Reactor (RBMK). There are other ideas that only exist on paper.
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 Pebble Beach Bed and Trundle uses a coaster to slide the trundle under the bed.
A packed bed reactor is a type of chemical reactor where a solid catalyst is packed into a tube or vessel, and reactants flow through this catalyst bed. The reaction occurs on the surface of the solid catalyst, allowing for efficient heat and mass transfer. Packed bed reactors are commonly used in industries for various catalytic reactions due to their high surface area and effectiveness in heterogeneous catalysis.
Nuclear fission reactors come in various forms, though the principle of using the heat from a nuclear chain reaction is always the same. 1. Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR). 2. Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). 3. Magnox gas cooled reactor (no longer built) 4. Advanced gas cooled reactor (no longer built but still in use in UK). 5. Canadian heavy water reactor (Candu) 6. Russian design of Chernobyl type. I think this covers the most used types for power generation. There are others such as the gas cooled pebble bed reactor, and the fast breeder reactor, that are possible but designs have not been so successful and these have not been adopted commercially.
The coolant in a nuclear is used to transfer the heat produced in the nuclear fuel to a steam generator to make steam. This cools the core of the reactor and couples out the thermal energy (heat) that we can use to make steam to generate electricity. We might also note that a gas turbine could potentially be used with a high temperature gas-cooled reactor like the proposed pebble bed design.
