NE Voucher Awards in Progress
This project will include the analysis of fuel performance under Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) operating conditions and assess if using recycled uranium in Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated (FCM) fuel is viable.
This project seeks to perform baseline studies on surface-treated A709 for corrosion resistance and mechanical properties to understand long-term corrosion protection when subject to periods of sustained and cyclic loading at high temperatures and its potential use in the IMSR®.
By leveraging Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s lab capabilities, Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation will further the efficient deployment and operation of manufacturing modules at their facilities.
ESG has designed a cable routing system with connectors and EPA that protects cables from water exposure. This project will enable ESG to develop this technology to support current and future SMR designs.

The objective of this project is to complete the necessary irradiation testing required and accelerate the retirement of risk related to qualification of nuclear environment nitrate salts. It is expected that the results of this project will significantly advance the MNSR design by qualifying the radiation stability of nitrate salt coolants in a nuclear environment.
The objective of this project is to develop Terrestrial Energy USA’s high temperature gamma thermometer (HTGT) that will accurately determine IMSR® power levels under all normal and off-normal reactor operating conditions. The HTGT will ensure safe and effective control of IMSR® reactor-core power and will be applicable to other MSR designs.
