The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded Terrestrial Energy USA a regulatory assistance grant to support the company’s US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing programme for its Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) plant. This comes after the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) in April concluded that there were no fundamental barriers to licensing the IMSR plant for Canadian commercial use. The decision followed a systematic and multi-year review against Canadian regulatory requirements. It was the first regulatory review of a nuclear plant using molten salt reactor technology and the first advanced, high-temperature fission technology to complete a review of this type.

Terrestrial Energy said that zero-emission thermal energy from IMSR nuclear cogeneration can be used in the production process of hydrogen and ammonia.
KBR supplies ammonia production technology to chemical manufacturers globally, the statement said.
According to Terrestrial Energy, KBR will support the development of “commercial frameworks” for the deployment and marketing of ammonia production technology using IMSR cogeneration.

Separate Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) supporting the future development and deployment of advanced small modular reactors (SMRs) in Canada will see Cameco and Terrestrial Energy investigate opportunities related to Terrestrial's Integrated Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR), while ARC Clean Energy Canada and Cross River Infrastructure Partners LLC will work together to develop sustainable industrial projects using ARC's SMR technology. Meanwhile, Canada's nuclear regulator has granted a 10-year licence renewal for an Ontario Power Generation (OPG) site earmarked for possible SMR deployment.

Full production has resumed at the Metropolis uranium conversion plant in Illinois after it was closed earlier this month following a uranium hexafluoride (UF6) leak. Metropolis, the only operating uranium conversion plant in the USA, is owned and operated by Honeywell. The plant converts uranium oxide powder into gaseous UF6 suitable for enrichment, which is marketed by Converdyn, a joint venture of Honeywell and General Atomics.
