Terrestrial Energy and Texas A&M reach agreement on reactor siting
Terrestrial Energy has signed ground lease and research agreements with the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) to exclusively use about 77 acres of land at the Texas A&M–RELLIS campus, in Bryan, Texas, for development of the company’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR). The agreements give Terrestrial Energy control of the site and provide support for completion of site characterization work, environmental evaluations, and testing and research activities related to the IMSR.

When the first nuclear construction boom came to an end and the industry transitioned to operations, many of the suppliers needed to support the initial construction exited nuclear. In the years leading up to the previous nuclear renaissance, the industry realizing it lacked the capacity to build dozens of new plants went on a mission to bring new suppliers into nuclear. But is the best solution to capacity new suppliers or encourage existing suppliers to add capacity? We sit on the precipice of building hundreds of new advanced reactors. What is the best path for the “industry” that consists of both utility operators and suppliers?
