Analysis of NuCycle® Flowsheet for Waste Stream Characterization, Curio Solutions

Curio will partner with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to conduct an analysis of the NuCycle® flowsheet that will allow the generation of quantities and classification of anticipated waste streams and recommendations on waste forms most suitable to sequestering the generated waste streams. Results of the project would be used to determine the approach to managing waste from a pilot demonstration of NuCycle® to be performed in 2027.

Investigation of Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) Process Development for Graphite Neutron Moderator Production, Element Factory

Element Factory, LLC (Cheyenne, WY) will work with Idaho National Laboratory to ensure that graphite components will meet technical and regulatory requirements for use in nuclear reactors when they are produced through their novel process that uses different carbon sources.

Thermal Energy Storage with sCO2 Power Conversion for Low-Cost Micro Modular Reactors – Heat Transfer and sCO2 Power Cycle Assessment, Kanata America

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.

Safeguards Technologies and Assessments to Support Efficient UNF Recycling in the U.S., SHINE Technologies

SHINE will work with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) to help integrate sensors into the MC&A requirements for SHINE’s flowsheets and perform modeling to define sensor placement and requirements.

Confirm Product Quality Achieved by Using Electroreduction Technology to Convert GNF Provided Uranium Oxides to Metal, Global Nuclear Fuels

GNF will partner with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to perform to perform electroreduction tests on various uranium oxide samples to understand product quality and impurities such that GNF can determine if it’s feasible to adopt into metallic fuel manufacturing.

Future Climate Projections for Dry and Wet Condenser Cooling Options, Energy Northwest

This project will evaluate potential climate impacts in the northwestern United States from climate models and use those results to model plant performance using various cooling options. The results will be used to determine the range of plant performance and cost distributions to help understand the factors that need to influence the selection of a ultimate heat sink for a nuclear reactor in the region.

High Temperature Neutron Flux Detector – Reactor Testing, Ultra Energy

Ultra has developed a prototype detector but to complete the anticipated testing program for the prototype detector and demonstrate suitable operation at reactor flux levels, the detector requires testing at fluxes equivalent to those typically seen in power reactor operation (1E10 – 1E11nv).
