[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6489879, member: 15685"] I missed some news in April, so I'm catching up. [URL]https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/DOE-project-supports-microreactor-deployment[/URL] The focus on Stirling engines is interesting. The article does not discuss the expected electrical output, although an article published through ANS suggests 20 kWe, which is confirmed by the INL presentation below (gehinj-w15-hv.pdf). The temperature range would be useful for research on materials for some of the Gen-IV reactors. The power level (100 kWt) is rather low. In contrast, the Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR) materials test reactor has a thermal output of 100 MW.
