The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the construction of the Versatile Test Reactor (VTR). The proposed VTR will be a sodium-cooled fast-neutron-spectrum test reactor that will enhance and accelerate research, development, and demonstration of innovative nuclear technologies that will play a crucial role in helping the United States reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
This webinar discussed austenitic stainless steels, which are widely used as in-core materials in current nuclear systems.
The objective of this project is to evaluate a metalorganic framework (MOF) for continuous separation of Xe and Kr from the off-gas in the FCMSR in order to optimize the noble gas management of the FC-MSR and chemical processes for fuel salt production and conditioning and support the safety and licensing bases.
This workshop convened supply chain and procurement leaders from the energy industry sector to explore gaps, opportunities, and solutions in the advanced nuclear supply chain.
This project will include the analysis of fuel performance under Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) operating conditions and assess if using recycled uranium in Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated (FCM) fuel is viable.
This project seeks to perform baseline studies on surface-treated A709 for corrosion resistance and mechanical properties to understand long-term corrosion protection when subject to periods of sustained and cyclic loading at high temperatures and its potential use in the IMSR®.
Kairos seeks to optimize electroanalytical sensors to enable stable measurements of industrial-scale FLIBE salt in the Kairos Power Engineering Test Unit (ETU). The work proposed would provide a direct benefit to the development of the HERMES reactor.
This national workshop explored strategies for and the many benefits of repurposing legacy fossil fuel infrastructure, including closed coal mines, coal power plants, and orphaned oil and gas wells.
Benjamin Jourdy works on a methodology based on bibliography synthesis and experimental results, leading to the conception of a new mock-up dedicated to this study.
