Holtec SMR-300 testing facility progresses at INL
Holtec has announced it is advancing with component fabrication for a testing facility at Idaho National Laboratory that it will use to quantify performance margins of its SMR-300 pressurized water reactor. The facility, dubbed HI-TEST, will use test loops to replicate accident scenarios and steam generator behavior, aiming also to support future power uprating for SMR-300 units.

The American Nuclear Society Young Members Group (YMG), the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) Nuclear Innovation: Clean Energy Future (NICE Future) initiative, and the International Youth Nuclear Congress (IYNC) proudly hosted this webinar on how microreactors will empower many innovative uses in our future clean energy economy.
Panelists discussed how these paradigm-shifting technologies will enable remote villages, island communities, military operations, off-grid consumers, and high-temperature process heat customers to benefit from carbon-free nuclear energy. The panelists also explored the state of the technology development, benefits, economics, potential customers, and opportunities to incorporate cutting-edge innovations, such as additive manufacturing and remote/autonomous operations.
Alice Caponiti, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Fleet and Advanced Reactor Deployment at the U.S. Department of Energy, provided special remarks.
