Dr. James Conca writes that Terrestrial Energy is on its way to making their innovative design, the Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR®), a reality.

NRG is to carry out testing of materials, including graphite, for key components of Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR®) power plant in the High-Flux Reactor at Petten in the Netherlands under a contract announced on 5 February.

Terrestrial Energy and NRG announced today a contract for materials testing at NRG’s High-Flux Reactor at Petten. These materials include graphite and will be used in the key components of Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR®) power plant.

There are many reasons to be excited about advanced nuclear reactors. We have, in companies such as NuScale, Terrestrial Energy, Oklo, TerraPower, X-Energy and many more, the entrepreneurial spirit.

Terrestrial Energy has been invited to present at the Hydrogen Economy Summit during the 17th Cleantech Forum in San Francisco on January 28. The Executive Summit will focus on three main aspects of commercializing hydrogen: sustainable production, integration into today’s electricity landscape, and its role in transportation.

Nuclear utilities are playing a growing role in Canadian SMR development and their operational expertise could support the first fleet deployment at mining sites.

Nuclear generation as we know it may be dead, but the future of nuclear is bright. There are over 50 start-ups in North America developing generation IV reactor designs with $1.3 billion in investments.

Terrestrial Energy has contracted BWXT Canada Ltd for technical consultation and design assistance in the development of steam generators and heat exchangers for its Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR), which entered the second phase of a vendor design review by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) in October.

Terrestrial Energy announced today that it has signed on BWXT Canada Ltd. for a design services contract to support development of key components in Terrestrial Energy’s Generation IV Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR®) power plant.
