Concept of Operations for Microreactor Transportation
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Richland, WA (United States)
Microreactors are very small nuclear reactors with a power output of 20 MWe or less and are designed to be factory-built, modular in nature, and highly portable. The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has been identified as a potential location to demonstrate microreactors and two microreactor concepts currently under consideration for demonstration at the INL include a tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fueled high-temperature gas reactor and a sodium cooled reactor using a SNAP-10A style fuel pin design. The objective of this report is to identify a concept of operations (CONOPS) for shipping these microreactors.
