Terrestrial Energy: Carbon-free energy for global industry
Terrestrial Energy is developing a cogeneration plant for clean and cost-competitive heat and electric power generation that will change how the world produces energy.
Terrestrial Energy is developing a cogeneration plant for clean and cost-competitive heat and electric power generation that will change how the world produces energy.
This animation provides an overview of the Terrestrial Energy Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR), which is the heart of an innovative small modular cogeneration plant designed to produce carbon-free, high-temperature heat for global industry and low-cost electrical power.
This illustration is an outer view of the IMSR Core-unit. Their connections to the rest of the power system are at the top, allowing for easy replacement every seven years.
Before and after use, IMSR Core-units are stored in a protective silo like this. Using these, an IMSR plant can keep several Core-units on hand for added energy security.
This cutaway view show the interior of the IMSR Core-unit. This elegant design enables Core-units to be factory made, easily transportable, and swappable inside the plant.

This cutaway view illustration shows how an IMSR Core-unit sits low and central in the reactor building, with replacement Core-units stored nearby.
