Description
Description | Texas-based Aalo Atomics built the world's first experimental extra modular nuclear reactor on a 1-acre parcel inside the Idaho National Lab's Materials and Fuels Complex. The reactor and its surrounding 3,600-square-foot building were completed ahead of schedule, with fuel expected to arrive soon and the reactor going online before July 4. The site will generate up to 10 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 10,000 homes, and will use liquid metal as coolant with air-cooled condensers, avoiding water consumption. |
