Experimental Testing work researched under a GAIN NE Voucher
Kanata America, Inc. (Cheyenne, WY) will collaborate with Sandia National Laboratories to improve the efficiency of their thermal energy storage and power conversion systems for future use in microreactors.
The goal of this project would be to evaluate performance capabilities of instruments and develop standardized hardware configurations and operating procedures to analyze lithium isotopic ratios to support production of Flibe coolant that is highly enriched in 7Li.

Kairos seeks to optimize electroanalytical sensors to enable stable measurements of industrial-scale FLIBE salt in the Kairos Power Engineering Test Unit (ETU). The work proposed would provide a direct benefit to the development of the HERMES reactor.
To broaden the understanding of fuel-clad chemical interactions (FCCI), Oklo partnered with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to conduct an out-of-pile experimental investigation into FCCI behavior that addresses each of these variables in order to expand the operating envelopes to better align with the Aurora reactor as well as other advanced concepts.
