The Energy Collective: New Paradigms Emerge for Innovation and Investment in Advanced Nuclear Energy Reactor Designs

Terrestrial Energy’s IMSR® is a small, modular design, but comes in three models from 29MWe to 290MWe. The firm claims the units are suitable for industrial operations, and can support on-and-off-the-grid power and process heat applications.

According to CEO Simon Irish, the IMSR® represents a completely new paradigm for civilian nuclear energy. He calls it a “cost-competitive, scalable, grid-independent energy source” and touts its innovations in terms of safety and proliferation resistance.
