TRISO pebble lifecycle studied in new ORNL, Kairos Power partnership
A new strategic partnership is providing Kairos Power with the expertise and specialized facilities of Oak Ridge National Laboratory to help accelerate the development of the California-based company’s Hermes. This partnership is the fourth between ORNL and Kairos Power since 2020, and it is focused in part on the manufacture and management of TRISO fuel pebbles for the fluoride salt–cooled, high-temperature demonstration reactor now under construction in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
