Tech for use in Advanced Reactors vs. Existing Fleet
The benchmarks, analytical solutions, and failure criteria developed during this project will be used directly by USNC-Tech to evaluate the current graphite core design of the MMR™ reactor, resulting in an optimized core and a down-selection of the graphite used for the core.
