Terrestrial Energy And NRG Analyse IMSR Graphite Behaviour :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Terrestrial Energy And NRG Analyse IMSR Graphite Behaviour :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: US-based advanced nuclear reactor developer Terrestrial Energy and NRG of the Netherlands have established a graphite irradiation programme to analyse graphite behaviour in Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR).



NRG said the programme is part of Terrestrial Energy’s testing of the Generation IV IMSR. The irradiation is being carried out at NRG’s High-Flux research reactor at Petten in the Netherlands.



Graphite is a key component of the IMSR power plant. NRG said the graphite irradiation programme provides data that shows structural changes of IMSR graphite under irradiation conditions.
