An Advanced Multiphysics Simulation Capability for Radiant’s Microreactor Design and Shielding Analysis, Radiant Industries Inc.
The objective is to integrate the core and shielding analysis tools in order to design a safe and economically viable microreactor.
Experimental and Software Validation of Integral Thermal-Hydraulic Behavior in Fuel Assemblies, Oklo Inc.
This project seeks to address 1) pressure drop behavior of a typical sodium fast reactor fuel assembly with an orifice device and 2) orifice device onset of cavitation.
Thermal Property Measurements for an LEU-Fueled Molten Salt Reactor, Flibe Energy, Inc.
This project seeks to model and experimentally confirm the composition of two known salt systems (LiF-NaF-UF4 and LiF-NaF-ThF4) as the fuel and blanket salt for Flibe’s Lithium Fluoride Low-Enrichment Uranium Reactor (LFLEUR).

Chlorine Nuclear Data Measurement and Evaluation, TerraPower
This project will perform new measurements of 35Cl(n,p), analyze the experimental data from these measurements, generate new 35Cl and 37Cl cross-section evaluations in ENDF/B format, and assess the impacts of the expected changes to chlorine nuclear data by comparing analysis of MCRE with updated cross-section libraries to results with existing nuclear data.

LEU+ UF6 Physical Chemistry Study, Orano Federal Services
Previous studies for UF6 limits in shipping containers were limited to enrichment up to 5%. The objectives of this new study will take that enrichment to 10%. The project will review the available literature and update these studies with current techniques, evaluate the impact of higher enrichments in safety criticality cases in transport conditions, and publish a report that will serve as the basis to the safety criticality analysis that will be provided for review and approval to the radioactive material transport regulators, for the DN-30 package with 30B cylinders containing enrichment higher than 5%.
