Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
New Award: The Evinci Micro Reactor Risk Reduction Project plans to reduce technical and commercial risks by defining and understanding commercial requirements to reduce unknowns.
Enhancing the manufacturability of different wick types within heat pipes, improving the moderator canister design, and outlining and designing for an economically-viable refueling process.
The project also aims to establish a plan for identifying and addressing the applicable regulations for high risk and first-of-a-kind (FOAK) topics.
Additionally, it seeks to identify an energy storage strategy that can be used in conjunction with Evinci Micro Reactor deployment to meet the Evinci load follow design requirements.
