NRIC’s DOME “open for business”
On Wednesday, Idaho National Laboratory announced that the National Reactor Innovation Center’s Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) test bed is now “open for business.”
With DOME’s opening, microreactor developers will soon be able to test, demonstrate, and validate their reactor designs. Rian Bahran, the Department of Energy’s deputy assistant secretary for nuclear reactors, called this “essential infrastructure” a “testament to our commitment to a robust nuclear future” and a key tool for “accelerating the development and deployment” of new energy technologies.
