CORE-POWER announces partnership with Southern Co., TerraPower, and Orano for MSRs

摘要

UK-based Marine Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) developer CORE-POWER (UK) Ltd. announced November 2 it will partner with an international team consisting of Southern Company, TerraPower, and Orano USA to develop MSR technology in the U.S. The team has already submitted its application to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to take part in cost-share risk reduction awards under the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program to build a prototype MSR, as a proof-of-concept for a medium-scale commercial-grade reactor. “We’re pleased to work with such outstanding partners in developing game-changing technology to help transport and industry transition to a clean energy future,” says COREPOWER CEO Mikal Boe. “The implications of the MSR for transport and industry could be transformational, as we seek to build scale-appropriate technology and broad acceptance of modern and durable liquid-fuelled atomic power to shape the future of how we deal with climate change.”
