Energy Department Announces First Microreactor Experiments in DOME Test Bed
July 1, 2025The U.S. Department of Energy today made conditional selections for Westinghouse and Radiant to perform the first tests in the Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) facility at Idaho National Laboratory. The DOME experiments will be the first of their kind in the world and will fast-track the deployment of American microreactor technologies to help keep pace with the nation’s demand for more abundant, affordable, and reliable power. The first fueled reactor experiment will start as early as spring 2026.

April 28, 2025A study by the U.S. Department of Energy involving national laboratories identified 157 retired coal plant sites and 237 operating coal plants sites as potential candidates for the coal-to-nuclear transition.
Christine King, the Department of Energy’s director of the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear previously told the Deseret News the research showed that the most valuable connection in the site analysis was connection to the grid, the transmission, existing substations and even the administration buildings.
