The U.S. DOE Microreactor Program: Performing Research and Development to Enable Microreactor Development, Deployment and Commercialization

Publicly accessible License 

Program overview describing DOE's microreactor R&D mission and coordinated roles for national laboratories, universities, and industry partners. Cross-cutting activities include systems integration and analysis, cost basis and manufacturing readiness, regulatory research and licensing support, materials and heat-transfer testing, advanced instrumentation and sensors, and demonstration capabilities. The fact sheet highlights objectives to enable near-term development, transportation and siting considerations, and pathways from research to deployment for factory-fabricated, transportable microreactors, including priorities for FY24 to FY25.
