Nuclear Dirigo
On April 22, 1959, Rear Admiral George J. King, superintendent of the Maine Maritime Academy, announced that following the completion of the 1960 training cruise, cadets would begin the study of nuclear engineering. Courses at that time included radiation physics, reactor control and instrumentation, reactor theory and engineering, thermodynamics, shielding, core design, reactor maintenance, and nuclear aspects.

The purpose of the MARVEL project is to develop, in less than 2 years, a nuclear microreactor applications test bed at INL to perform research and development on various operational features of microreactors to ultimately improve integration of microreactors to end-user applications. Through collaboration between the DOE Microreactor Program and the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC), the development of this test bed provides an opportunity to establish and exercise key NRIC capabilities that support future reactor demonstrations by: (1) providing an early-stage platform for potential end users of microreactor systems, (2) deploying the first small-scale R&D reactor in 40 years to support new capability development, (3) facilitating outreach activity with stakeholders interested in novel nuclear energy applications (e.g., hydrogen production, process heating, water purifications), and (4) investigating and addressing issues relating to fabrication, assembly, rapid installation, deployment, and operation of microreactors. The panel will provide an overview of the MARVEL from the perspective of key contributors and stakeholders.
