Idaho Falls-based NuCube and Utah San Rafael Energy Lab (USREL) said they have already begun discussions about community outreach and engagement regarding siting the test reactor in Orangeville, Utah.

The reactor design utilises tri-structural isotropic – or TRISO – fuel and heat pipe technology, among other innovations, that are designed to minimise the use of moving parts within the reactor, thereby enhancing safety and reliability.
