U.S. GIF VHTR work is continuing on graphite qualification, Alloy 617 regulatory issues beyond the Code space, Alloy 800H weldments, and ASME Codes and Standards R&D is still considering both pebble bed and prismatic and steam generator and heat exchanger U.S. DOE Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP) Two U.S.-based teams were selected to demonstrate advanced nuclear reactors in the United States that can be operational by 2027 One of the teams is X-energy (Rockville, MD) which will demonstrate a modular gas-cooled reactor design (Xe-100) with four 80 MWe, TRISO fuel, pebble bed reactors A number of U.S.-based teams were selected to design and develop safe and affordable reactor technologies that can be licensed and deployed over the next 10 to 14 years (Risk Reduction) One of the teams is BWXT Advanced Technologies, LLC which will develop a commercially viable transportable microreactor with the design focused on using TRISO fuel particles and silicon carbide (SiC) matrix A number of U.S.-based teams were selected to assist the progression of advanced reactor designs in their earliest phases (Advanced Reactor Concepts-20) One of the teams is Massachusetts Institute of Technology which will mature the Modular Integrated Gas-Cooled High Temperature Reactor (MIGHTR) concept with a horizontal compact design from a pre-conceptual stage to a conceptual stage to support commercialization
