NuScale Power on 31 August announced the opening of the second-of-three planned NuScale Energy Exploration (E2) Centres in collaboration with the University of Idaho at the Centre for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES), located in Idaho Falls. The E2 Centre at CAES, to be known as the SMR Simulator Laboratory, will assist the research of CAES entities: Idaho National Laboratory, Boise State University, Idaho State University, and University of Idaho, and allow users to assume the role of control room operator to learn about the innovative features and functionality unique to NuScale’s SMR technology.

The US University of Idaho said on 17 May that researchers had verified a new process to save millions of dollars and speed up development of the world’s first Molten Salt Nuclear Battery (MsNB). Generating energy from nuclear fuel dissolved in molten salt offers improved safety and efficiency, and research is ongoing to bring this technology to market. Salt is not combustible and has a low volatility, removing risk of vessel rupture from pressure build-up.
