Description
The MHTGR design and technical basis is sufficiently advanced in the U.S. to warrant the initiation of Lead Project development activities. Two efforts are currently underway. A variant of the civilian MHTGR design is being advanced as a New Production Reactor to supply materials for the Nation's nuclear defense requirements. In parallel, a private-sector initiative is underway through a Lead Project Feasibility Study to evaluate whether and how to deploy the first civilian MHTGR. This paper reviews the status of these efforts. (orig.)
