DOE Approves Safety Design Strategy for Radiant Industries Microreactor
Launch Alaska Portfolio member Radiant Industries, Inc. has reached an important milestone in the development of its Kaleidos microreactor, the company announced June 4.
The Department of Energy has approved the microreactor’s Safety Design Strategy, the initial stage in the comprehensive safety review required prior to conducting a fueled test at the National Reactor Innovation Center’s Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments test bed at Idaho National Laboratory.
“The SDS is the cornerstone of the safety roadmap we’re building as we approach commercialization of a fueled reactor in a few years’ time,” Radiant CEO Doug Bernauer said in a press release. “We’re grateful for DOE Idaho's review and approval as we take this important step forward and for (Idaho National Laboratory)’s continued thorough support throughout this critical process.
