The assessment was conducted using Oak Ridge Siting Analysis for Power Generation Expansion (ORSAGE) after reviewing existing licensing frameworks, development of siting criteria, and evaluation of demonstration sites for microreactors and drawing the prior INL’s reactor-agnostic siting methodology, EPRI’s siting guidance, DOE policies on reactor sites, and ORSAGE-based geospatial analyses.
Site Evaluation to Support Qualified Test Reactors and Pilot Program
This study provides an assessment of the siting suitability of advanced microreactors identified by the Reactor Pilot Program at both selected DOE and non-DOE sites.
