| Project Objective: Develop a sufficient technical and economic basis for this type of HTGR reactor plant to determine whether it can compete with natural gas and still meet safety, proliferation resistance and waste disposal concerns. |
- advanced reactor technology project between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL)
