The National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) is tasked with accelerating testing and demonstration of advanced reactors. As part of this mission, NRIC is setting up the Demonstration of Microreactor Experiment (DOME) facility as a testbed to host advanced experimental reactors. NRIC is working with four reactor developers to prepare for testing in the DOME including: Antares, Radiant, Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation, and Westinghouse. This panel will discuss the current progress of each developer toward testing the DOME facility.
