U.S. DOE Now Accepting Applications to Schedule Fueled Microreactor Experiments in DOME – the World’s First Microreactor Test Bed
Application to Test in the NRIC DOME Facility Read More »
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released a final environmental assessment and proposed finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for the operation of the Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) test bed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). DOME would provide private industry with a safe, reliable, and affordable location to test their microreactor technologies to generate data needed to obtain reactor licensing and commercialization.
A study by the U.S. Department of Energy involving national laboratories identified 157 retired coal plant sites and 237 operating coal plants sites as potential candidates for the coal-to-nuclear transition.
Christine King, the Department of Energy’s director of the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear previously told the Deseret News the research showed that the most valuable connection in the site analysis was connection to the grid, the transmission, existing substations and even the administration buildings.

DOE just announced conditional commitments to provide high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to five U.S. nuclear developers to meet their near-term fuel needs. The five companies that received conditional commitments are: •TRISO-X, LLC. •Kairos Power, LLC. •Radiant Industries, Inc. •Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC •TerraPower, LLC.

The National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) to launch the Advanced Nuclear First Movers Initiative. The Initiative, directed by state energy offices, is led by state co-chairs New York, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Wyoming, and the participating states Louisiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
INL serves as the GAIN integrator for NE for a reason, said Jess Gehin, associate laboratory director for Nuclear Science and Technology at INL. “INL’s significant experience in leading nuclear energy R&D programs made it the ideal choice to head the GAIN initiative and work with other national laboratories on GAIN’s mission.”
