Kairos Power finalizes contract on HALEU for Hermes
Kairos Power has finalized a contract with the Department of Energy to receive high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) from the agency for the company’s Hermes low-power demonstration reactor, currently under construction in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
In partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory, Kairos intends to use the DOE-provided material to produce HALEU TRISO fuel pebbles for Hermes. The company views the Hermes test reactor and the fuel fabrication program as crucial to the eventual success of its power-producing Hermes 2 demonstration plant, also to be sited in Oak Ridge, and future commercial fluoride salt–cooled high-temperature reactors.
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by RPD|Cosponsored by OPD
Monday, June 12, 2023|1:00–2:45PM EDT|Kentucky
Session Chair:
Michael G. Anness (Westinghouse)
Session Organizer:
Cenk Guler
Microreactors will be utilizing new modeling and simulation tools that are based on multi physics and these tools will need to be utilized for both design and operational support. We'll be discussing on this panel about how these new generation light-weight systems should be developed and what kinds of business-model innovation will be needed to be able to support the next wave of micro reactors.
