Dr. Caleb Brooks, professor in the Department of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering and Director of the Illinois Microreactor Research, Development and Demonstration Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will present a talk on campus deployments of microreactor technology.
The center’s flagship project is their ongoing collaboration with Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) to deploy a Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) on the university campus as a Research and Test Reactor. This talk will overview the project goals, approach, status and major drivers toward wide adoption of microreactors.
Join the Discussion:
• Advancements in microreactor research, technology and training.
• Making microreactors part of a clean and climate conscious energy future.
• Major drivers in the pathway towards wide adoption of microreactors.
