Abstract

This is a foreword for a sponsored Nuclear Technology Special Issue that is focused on the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) Microreactor Program and associated research and development (R&D) activities. Led by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the DOE-NE Microreactor Program is one of four, national advanced reactor campaigns under the Advanced Reactor Technologies umbrella in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Deployment. The other three national advanced reactor campaigns are focused on Molten Salt, High Temperature Gas, and Fast reactor concepts providing a robust portfolio of national laboratory and university expertise and R&D infrastructure in support of enabling and accelerating commercial deployment of advanced reactor (generally non-light water cooled) concepts.

Laboratory-Directed Research and Development 2016 Summary Annual Report

Technical Report Pillai, Rekha S. ; Jacobson, Julie A.

The Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) reports its status to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by March of each year. The program operates under the authority of DOE Order 413.2C, “Laboratory Directed Research and Development” (April 19, 2006), which establishes DOE’s requirements for the program while providing the laboratory director broad flexibility for program implementation. LDRD funds are obtained through a charge to all INL programs. This report includes summaries of all INL LDRD research activities supported during Fiscal Year (FY) 2016. INL is the lead laboratory for the DOE Office of Nuclearmore »« less

Molten Salt Reactor Signatures and Modeling Study

Technical Report Dion, Michael P. ; Worrall, Louise G. ; Croft, Stephen ; ...

Molten salt reactor (MSR) technologies, either liquid fueled and cooled or only liquid cooled, pose specific, unique challenges for safeguards of the special nuclear material during the operation, fueling, and maintenance of the reactor. MSRs are one type of Generation IV technologies being invested in and considered for U.S. domestic fabrication primarily for electricity and process heat production. These designs have generated growing commercial interest for several reasons, including high (≈40%) thermal efficiency, ease of fueling, improved use of uranium fuel, potential utilization of thorium fuel, and proposed inherent safety features. U.S. companies have several planned designs that differ inmore »« less

Advanced Reactor Technologies Advanced Reactor Technologies Program Management Plan

Technical Report Croson, Diane V.

The Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) program grew out of earlier Department of Energy efforts to promote next-generation, small modular, and other advanced reactor concepts. It is now sponsored by Office of Advanced Reactor Deployment, NE-52. Because of its peculiar genesis, the program resides at multiple national laboratories and brings in researchers from subcontracting entities and universities. This creates a need for Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL’s) ART to authorize and define work through memorandum purchase orders, inter-entity work orders, and subcontracts. ART manages research and development (R&D) for the Gas-Cooled Reactors (GCRs) Campaign and other advanced-reactor technologies and ensures that Nuclearmore »« less

A Generic Nuclear Code of Accounts for Cost Estimation Standardization

Technical Report Moneghan, Daniel ; Abou-Jaoude, Abdalla ; Bolisetti, Chandrakanth ; ...

Recent Advanced Reactor (AR) designs typically offer features and attributes that depart from traditional water-cooled reactors in terms of fuel forms, coolants, structural materials, size, safety margins, and other important design and operational aspects. These departures, relative to the industry experience, will likely present a challenge for potential owner-operators when evaluating one or more AR designs for commercial deployment on a like-for-like basis. This is further exacerbated with new classes of reactors gaining prominence (e.g., microreactors) and new emerging applications (e.g., floating barge reactors or space propulsion reactors). The differences in design-specific technologies are compounded by the differences in approachmore »« less
