Session Organizer:
The MARVEL reactor demonstration has two key objectives:
(1) as a pathfinder for advanced reactor developers, and
(2) as a testbed for novel nuclear uses and technologies.
This panel will focus on the second goal in light of the recently released Expression of Interest (EOI) on MARVEL utilization. The panel will provide an overview of how MARVEL reactor itself and supporting infrastructure can be utilized by end users for demonstrations and tests. Panelists will specifically cover topics relating to advanced controls (and leveraging the MACS/ViBRANT non-nuclear prototype testbed), microgrids coupled to MARVEL, and nuclear heat applications using MARVEL.
