U.S. DOE Now Accepting Applications to Schedule Fueled Microreactor Experiments in DOME – the World’s First Microreactor Test Bed
Application to Test in the NRIC DOME Facility Read More »
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released a final environmental assessment and proposed finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for the operation of the Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) test bed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). DOME would provide private industry with a safe, reliable, and affordable location to test their microreactor technologies to generate data needed to obtain reactor licensing and commercialization.
DOE just announced conditional commitments to provide high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to five U.S. nuclear developers to meet their near-term fuel needs. The five companies that received conditional commitments are: •TRISO-X, LLC. •Kairos Power, LLC. •Radiant Industries, Inc. •Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC •TerraPower, LLC.
