This panel will provide a brief overview on the cross-cutting research and development (R&D) that is being carried out at various national laboratories to enable technology demonstrations and successful deployment. The main objective of the R&D is to reduce uncertainty and risk in the design and development of microreactors to facilitate rapid technology commercialization. The work is broadly applicable to multiple reactor cooling/technology options to ensure that concepts can be licensed and deployed to meet specific use-case requirements.
