It might surprise many people to learn that nearly every operating reactor in the world has technological roots in Idaho. The fact is, the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), which was known as the National
The Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) project will provide a robust experimental capability to test microreactor applications, develop regulatory approval processes for designs, evaluate systems for remote monitoring and develop autonomous control technologies. The prototype, which is not driven by fission but rather is heated by an external
