In October 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), through its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), awarded TerraPower $80 million in initial funding to demonstrate the Natrium technology. TerraPower signed the cooperative agreement with DOE last month. To date, Congress...
In October of 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)announced$160 million in funding to support the construction of two advanced nuclear reactors. The funding announcement came just five months after DOE launched the Advanced Reactor DemonstrationProgram, which aims to provide...
Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), a publicprivate partnership, this Natrium reactor demonstration project is intended to validate the design, construction and operational features of the Natrium technology. [1] TerraPower and GE-Hitachi technology...
The Asia Pacific region is host to a range of "technology capture" and developmental reactor designs and projects. This is associated with test reactor and demonstration reactor programs. Japan has a long range program to develop core technologies supporting High Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGRs) ...
We are excited to release this list of potential nuclear safety-related component opportunities for the Natrium Advanced Reactor Demonstration Project (ARDP) DOE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. DE-NE0009054. This program is intended to provide the initial core fuel load consisting of components for nearly ...

The researchers also suggested that the DOE revamp its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (mostly inactive since 2020) to add long-range funding for meeting staged milestones. It could also implement regular design, cost, and schedule reviews to downselect concepts for demonstration support. ...
On February 5, DOE released a Request for Information/Notice of Intent (RFI/NOI), which announced DOE’s intent to solicit applications for two Advanced Reactor Demonstration (ARD) awards. Each award will be in the amount of $80 million for the first yea
Fig. 9. View of the Superphénix reactor core; location of the control rods. This extensive program was necessary to resolve the difficulties related to spatial effects and interaction between the rods: the reactivity worth of a control rod could vary by a factor of 2.5, depending on whether...
Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), commonly referred to as ARDP, is designed to help our domestic nuclear industry demonstrate their advanced reactor designs on accelerated timelines. This will ultimately help us build a competitive portfolio of new US reactors that...
