The progress so far: An update on the Reactor Pilot Program
It has been about three months since the Department of Energy named 10 companies for its new Reactor Pilot Program, which maps out how the DOE would meet the goal announced by executive order in May of having three reactors achieve criticality by July 4, 2026.
June 18, 2020|12:00–1:30PM (1:00–2:30PM EDT)
Available to All Users
The webinar is free and open to all.
Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) and the ANS Young Members Group invite you to discuss the feasibility of next generation nuclear reactors, SMRs and microreactors, in response to Puerto Rico's pressing energy needs and legislative interest – House Resolution 1189.
The study represents a first-of-a-kind collaborative effort – led by the Nuclear Alternative Project (NAP), a non-profit organization of Puerto Rican engineers in the nuclear industry, and is supported by nuclear developers and national labs. This study involved a team of more than 20 consultants and industry advisors.
The panelists will present the study's key findings with a special focus on applications for Puerto Rico's manufacturing sector and critical infrastructure needs.
