DOE Selects Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor Design for Versatile Test Reactor in Idaho
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently issued a record of decision (ROD) to build a sodium-cooled fast test reactor at Idaho
National Laboratory (INL).
If appropriated by Congress, the Versatile Test Reactor (VTR) would be the first fast spectrum test reactor to operate in the United
States in nearly three decades
The VTR project would help modernize U.S. nuclear energy research and development infrastructure and dramatically accelerate the
technology development for current and next-generation reactors.
