General Electric-Hitachi, Argonne National Laboratory and the Idaho National Laboratory provided improved operational guidance for the current and advanced BWR off-gas system designs and identified off-gas system design improvements for use in BWR SMRs.
Oklo Inc. (Oklo) partnered with Argonne National Laboratory to accelerate the development of open-source and modern simulation tools. The project has an industry-wide impact since it advances the state-of-art simulation to design and build advanced reactor systems.
The objective of this project was to convert spent nuclear fuel into molten-chloride-salt fuel and was intended to demonstrate the streamlined development of fuel salt manufacturing from spent nuclear fuel.
The objective of this project was to develop a simple system that allows control of a plant simulator from a workstation. Called the Task Engine for Job and User Notification (TEJUN, also the Japanese word for “procedure”), the system is a web-based application that allows procedures to be authored in an easy-to-read document format.
Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and Kairos Power, LLC partnered to implement a multiscale thermal-fluids hierarchy analysis methodology for Kairos’ fluoride high-temperature reactor (FHR). The project demonstrated Kairos Power’s design optimization process for the heat exchanger, a vital component of the reactor’s design.
