Molten Salt Reactor Workshop 2019 October 2-3, 2019 – Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN The 2020 Molten Salt Reactor Workshop was held virtually on October 14-15, 2020 from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. There was an overwhelming response to the workshop and approximately 500 people registered to attend. The topics presented at this workshop included: Chemistry Activities Materials Research University Research Licensing Topics and Approaches International Activities Chemistry II/ Modeling Driven Systems/Fuel Cycle Approaches First Next Reactors
HolosGen, LLC with assistance from Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) will develop advanced coolant sleeve and moderator enclosure solutions for the Holos-Quad micro-gas cooled reactor (GCR) concept operating at high temperatures.
The objective of this project was to use the thermal hydraulics laboratory and vacuum test chambers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for response characterization of resistance temperature detectors and thermal aging of instrumentation and control (I&C) cables in vacuum to generate more useful data for I&C cable derating purposes.
ATOMIC WEEK – presented by Generation Atomic August 6-10, 2019 The purpose of the Atomic Week Workshop was to build competency in communicating about nuclear energy by connecting with outside organizations, in order to reach constituencies that do not often get to hear about nuclear energy, other clean energy technologies and the broader climate conversation.
The first industry/DOE Fast Reactor Workshop was held July 9-10 at Argonne National Laboratory. The 40 Workshop attendees included 19 from US industry representing 10 different companies; representatives from DOE, NRC, and NIA also participated.
TerraPower and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) will develop additional capabilities within the SAS4A code that analyzes a postulated severe accident leading to coolant boiling and/or fuel failure.
For this project, Flibe Energy and PNNL will evaluate the commercially available metal-organic frameworks in an engineered form to capture Xe selectively from simulated LFTR off-gas.
Westinghouse Electric Company and Oak Ridge National Laboratory designed and performed an experiment to develop a non-destructive assay measurement method that addressed the challenges of the volumetric deposits within the large ventilation system housings.
The purpose of the GAIN-EPRI-NEI-US NIC Micro-Reactor Workshop was to identify the unique needs of the micro-reactor industry along with associated DOE national laboratory capabilities and activities.
