The TCR, a new additive manufactured (3D-printed) Micro Reactor, is to be designed and demonstrated at ORNL as a proof of concept for advanced nuclear manufacturing technologies to reduce the deployment costs of new nuclear power generation.
BGS supported early-stage reactor/systems licensing efforts including the implementing of safety into the design process in accordance with DOE-STD-1189. Work included developing the Safety Design Strategy and developing safety-in-design implementing procedures. Support also included the development of preliminary safety analyses and supporting scoping calculations.
