FOR-868 Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) Project
- Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
The Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) reactor will offer experimental capabilities that are not currently available at DOE’s national laboratories. The test bed will perform R&D on the fundamental features, operations, and behaviors of microreactor technologies and help industry partners quickly test, develop, and demonstrate their technologies. The liquid- metal cooled microreactor will produce energy using small amounts of high- assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) from available research materials. Its design is primarily based on existing technology and will be built using off-the- shelf components to the extent practical. The reactor will be built inside the Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) Facility Micro-Reactor Experiment Cell (T- REXC), a separate project governed by the requirements of FOR-684, “Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) Facility Micro-Reactor Experiment Cell (T REXC),” and outside the scope of this document.
