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.
TerraPower and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) will develop additional capabilities within the SAS4A code that analyzes a postulated severe accident leading to coolant boiling and/or fuel failure.
For this project, Flibe Energy and PNNL will evaluate the commercially available metal-organic frameworks in an engineered form to capture Xe selectively from simulated LFTR off-gas.
This project will enable NexDefense to evaluate their existing software on a production nuclear test bed, hence laying the path for future commercial adoption.

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.
