Center for Advanced Small Modular and Micro Nuclear Reactors
Description
The Center for Advanced Small Modular and Micro Nuclear Reactors (CASMR) is critical to advancing the nation’s and state’s leadership in advanced nuclear technology development. The massive winter storm that hit Texas in February 2021 challenged the state’s energy infrastructure. Millions lost electricity and heat. CASMR researchers will focus on research to help prevent another similar scenario. The scope of CASMR broadly encompasses materials, thermo-hydraulics and waste management. The center will conduct and promote research and development and innovation and education, and identify the cross-cutting technologies that support the deployment of small modular reactors and microreactors for clean and safe energy. This focus benefits industry, regulation, national labs, NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense.
