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 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.
