Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP) Status and Updates

The Department of Energy (DOE) granted demonstration and risk reduction awards to multiple U.S. companies via the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP). This panel will focus on technical updates from vendors pursuing reactor demonstrations such as Natrium, Xe-100, Hermes, and the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE). The panel will primarily focus on the technical design challenges of the reactor systems, and recent progress in demonstration efforts.
