US start-up Radiant Industries says the US DOE has reviewed and approved the Safety Design Strategy for’ Kaleidos microreactor in the National Reactor Innovation Center’s Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (NRIC-DOME) test bed at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Micro Modular Reactors (MMR) are by definition the smallest of nuclear reactors (Electric power < 10 MWe). Note that MMRs & SMRs have a lower economic performance than Large Nuclear Reactors and are thus best suited for remote power applications, such as the Canadian north or small communities that lack high voltage transmission connection to larger capacity grids. Radiant was selected as one of three advanced nuclear energy developers to receive funding from DOE for developing and testing microreactor designs using the DOME test bed at INL. DOE, through NRIC, awarded $3.9m to Radiant, Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (UNSC) and Westinghouse to design experiments to test microreactor designs at DOME. The million $$ question is how long will this technology review process be required to run in order to be greenlighted for commercial application? https://lnkd.in/gRMDXJ56).

Just published: Delighted to share the new #IAEA TECDOC-2053 on safety and performance aspects in the development and qualification of high burnup nuclear fuels for water cooled reactors. This publication aims at illustrating the status in addressing safety and technological challenges encountered in the development, qualification and licensing of high burnup fuels for water cooled reactors, summarizing the discussion held at a technical meeting organized by the IAEA in November 2022. This publication will provide useful insights for a future revision of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSG-52, Design of the Reactor Core for Nuclear Power Plants, as industry trends strongly signal a need to broaden the scope of this safety guide to include high burnup nuclear fuels.

[#IndustrySpotlight] ☀️ Recently, there have been interesting developments in advanced nuclear reactors. For example, Abilene Christian University (ACU) was given a construction permit by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a new reactor called Natura MSR-1. In Waynesboro, Georgia, a U.S. nuclear reactor has been newly built, the first one in 30 years. The rise in electricity consumption is driving the need for clean and affordable #energy sources with nuclear energy being a viable option. Our #nuclear team has continued to develop precision solutions for SMRs and next-generation reactors, with metal seals being a primary selection. With growing operational conditions, we are also engineering #polymer seals to handle these critical requirements. 📚Discover more in this new technical article: High-Performance Polymer Solutions In Next-Generation Nuclear Reactors. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gPSsuhXJ #AdvancedReactors #SMR #CleanTechnology #HighPerformancePolymers #Omniseal #NuclearEnergy
