Advanced Reactor Landscape and the Importance of RTRs Josh Borromeo Chief Advanced Reactor Licensing TRTR Conference -
October 1, 2024
Advanced Reactors By the Numbers Evolving Landscape 20+
4 Potential applications by 2027 Applications currently under review Research and Test Reactors Molten Salt Reactors Small Modular and Microreactors High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors Liquid Metal Cooled Fast Reactors 2
Infrastructure Improvements Many different reactor technologies Range of sizes from < 10 MWt to 600 MWt Multiple reactors on a single site Hazards vary with power level and radionuclide inventory 15+
96 Entities actively engaged in pre-application activities Topical Reports and white paper reviews completed for 7 vendors 60+
8 Guidance documents issued NRC/CNSC joint reports issued
