About this award
The Department of Energy awarded a $800,000 cooperative agreement to the University of Wisconsin-Madison from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024 under the Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration program (CFDA 81.121).
The award supports research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and sub-awardees University of California, Berkeley and Powdermet Inc. to develop cost-competitive molten salt reactor technologies. Molten salt reactors present opportunities to meet key challenges for new advanced nuclear reactors by operating at higher temperatures for improved efficiency, reducing capital costs through smaller systems using conventional materials, and lowering operation and maintenance costs through components with reduced inspection needs and potential for long-term failure-free operation. The research aims to advance molten salt reactor concepts and components to achieve these goals and greater cost-competitiveness compared to other energy sources.
