MARVEL End User Application & Utilization

INTRODUCTION Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA) Management & Operating Contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) owned Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is seeking an Expression of Interest (EOI) from industry providers to suggest potential tests and experiments leveraging the Microreactor Application Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) demonstration. This will consist of a two-step process starting with a feasibility assessment, then a physical implementation, subject to Congressional Appropriation. BACKGROUND The MARVEL will be an operational microreactor and is expected to serve as a nuclear test bed to demonstrate microreactor operations and end-use applications, paving the way for unleashing private sector nuclear energy development. A primary goal of the project is to provide a platform that can be leveraged by the private sector to mature novel nuclear technologies and demonstrate innovative new use cases for microreactors. Additional information on MARVEL�s uti…
