Terrestrial Energy Chief Technology Officer Dave Hill provides an update on IMSR commercialization in the U.S. and Canada at Oak Ridge National Lab's 2020 Molten Salt Reactor Workshop.
In response to an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences article on waste from small modular reactors (SMRs) that included many inaccuracies about Terrestrial Energy and other developer’s SMR technologies as well as misleading conclusions about them, Terrestrial Energy has sent a letter to the PNAS highlighting its concerns.
Heat generated from an IMSR Generation IV power plant is ideal for many industrial processes, not just for electricity production.
EPRI is exploring how the full potential of nuclear energy can be brought to bear on the intertwined challenges of meeting future global energy demands, maintaining or improving quality of life, and mitigating environmental degradation.
The United Nations Economic Council for Europe (UNECE) analyzed the lifecycle emissions of various generating sources and found that nuclear energy had the lowest. Life cycle assessment allows the evaluation of a product over its life cycle, and across a wide range of environmental indicators – this method was chosen to report on the environmental profiles of various technologies.
This animation shows the interior of the IMSR400 power plant. The IMSR400 power plant uses twin Integral Molten Salt Reactors (IMSRs), which operate at nearly 50 percent higher thermal efficiency than conventional reactors for better performance.
This animation shows the exterior of the IMSR400 power plant. The IMSR400 has the capacity to generate 390 MW (net) of clean, reliable and carbon-free electric power using twin reactors and generators.
Illustration of the Terrestrial Energy IMSR400 power plant. This facility has the capacity to generate 390 MW (net) of clean, reliable and carbon-free electric power on a 7 hectare site.
Terrestrial Energy CEO Simon Irish joins distinguished panel at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum 2021 to discuss using nuclear energy for applications beyond power generation such as hydrogen, industrial heat and desalination.
Ontario Power Generation (OPG) announced resumption of planning activities for future nuclear power generation at its Darlington site, to host a Small Modular Reactor (SMR).
