Kairos Power received $303 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and Office of Nuclear Energy’s program for Risk Reduction projects to support the design, licensing, and construction of the Hermes low-power demonstration reactor. Hermes is intended to lead to the development of...
EPRI is also involved with several DOE-funded demonstration projects, including one with Kairos Power, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Materion Corporation. Theprojectwill demonstrate a 140-megawatt reactor fueled by TRISO that is expected to be operational by 2026. Another ...
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) ...
Securing Substantial Initial Funding for SMR Projects · Discover how to attract substantial initial investment to support your CAPEX budget to build and operate the first multi-billion-dollar reactor units. · Develop partnership models for ordering multiple reactors to provide precise cost estimates,...
of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration program and is expected to be built by 2028 in Kemmerer, Wyoming. The company hopes to reduce the plant costs to about $US 1 billion in future projects. Other markets for this technology include desalination, district heating, hydrogen production, and ...
Fiber-reinforced epoxy resins can be used as structural element for the cryogenic support because of their good balance of elastic modulus, mechanical strength, low electrical and thermal conductivity, ease of fabrication and low induced radioactivity. The paper presents some solutions for the design ...
Furthermore, the U.S. 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 ...
We are excited to release this list of potential supplier opportunities for the Natrium Reactor Demonstration Project and look forward to hearing from interested parties who want to help bring the demonstration plant to fruition. Bear in mind that the details of this list are subject to change, ...
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. ...
• Finished and delivered first phase of the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) demonstration project, which included creating a digital twin for innovative structural elements to be used in containment construction • Completed Phase 1 of the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Advanced Manufacturing...
