Microreactors are small, factory-built nuclear reactors that can provide up to 50 MWs of reliable power.

Microreactors can provide 1-50 MW of reliable power
“As President Trump and Secretary Wright have directed, we are coordinating across the federal government and using every tool at our disposal to unleash American energy abundance and dominance,” said Rian Bahran, DOE Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Reactors.

Expected to be housed in the lab’s former Zero Power Physics Reactor facility, the LOTUS test bed will be part of the world’s first fast-spectrum, salt-fueled reactor test led by Southern Company and TerraPower.
