U.S. Airlifts Microreactor in First Rapid Nuclear Deployment Test Aviation News – U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense have successfully airlifted a small nuclear microreactor aboard a military C-17A Globemaster III cargo aircraft from California to Utah, demonstrating how compact reactors could be rapidly deployed to supply power for remote bases or disaster zones. The milestone flight was conducted jointly by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Defense in partnership with California-based Valar Atomics.

These nuclear reactors fit on a flatbed truck. How safe are they? Firms are close to bringing the first “micro reactors” to market, with hundreds being shipped within the decade and dotting the landscape. Is America ready?

#fdup #madness Do YOU trust the people in power (techies who worship MAGA and others) to prevent a #nucleardisaster because there's a #microreactor in your area? #WTAF #giftarticle for you to read.

Project Pele is breaking ground in Idaho. What’s involved?

The #ProjectPele mobile #microreactor will be tested for 3 years at the Idaho National Laboratory's Critical Infrastructure Test Range Complex #CITRC. The microreactor is expected to produce 1–5MWe to the test grid. Groundbreaking for this project began in September 2024.

TRISO Particles: The Most Robust Nuclear Fuel on Earth TRISO particles cannot melt in a reactor and can withstand extreme temperatures that are well beyond the threshold of current nuclear fuels.

In June 2022, BWX Technologies #BWXT was awarded a contract by the #DOD Strategic Capabilities Office to build the prototype #microreactor. In December 2022, BWXT started the #TRISO fuel production at BWX Technologies Inc's Lynchburg facility in Virginia.
