The US Department of Defense has awarded a contract option to X-energy, LLC to develop an enhanced engineering design for a transportable microreactor suitable for both commercial and defence use under the Project Pele initiative. This second design would be complementary to the prototype microreactor which is being built by BWX Technologies.
Children will have the chance to get hands-on with science this month at the Ruth Patrick Science and Education Center when it hosts the 38th annual SEED STEM Festival.
