Moderator researched under approved GAIN NE Voucher
The ARC Reactor is a thermal spectrum molten salt microreactor that uses low-enriched uranium fuel and operates at the high temperature of 600°C. Alpha Tech has identified YH2-x as an exceptional moderator that experiences little to no swelling.

HolosGen, LLC with assistance from Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) will develop advanced coolant sleeve and moderator enclosure solutions for the Holos-Quad micro-gas cooled reactor (GCR) concept operating at high temperatures.
The objective of this project is to characterize Urbix Resources’ purified graphite powder, fabricate solid specimens of graphite matrix material, and conduct post-fabrication testing for properties determination. By decreasing feedstock cost, production time, and environmental impact, Urbix Resources expects to achieve competitive nuclear graphite grades at a discounted price.
