NERS researchers are supporting efforts to design experiments for a Versatile Test Reactor
The multi-institution collaboration is designing experiments to test various molten salt reactor technologies.
The multi-institution collaboration is designing experiments to test various molten salt reactor technologies.
An article recently published by Idaho National Laboratory (INL) highlights the U.S. Department of Energy’s efforts to build a Versatile Test Reactor (VTR), which would mimic the effects sustained over years or decades of use in a power reactor core.
Researchers in NERS Professor Xiaodong Sun’s group are collaborating with researchers from the University of Utah and Virginia Commonwealth University to design experiments to test various molten salt reactor technologies in anticipation of the VTR’s construction.
