Deployable Energy reaches criticality at Idaho National Laboratory
Original: Deployable Energy achieves criticality at INL
Deployable Energy has achieved first criticality at Idaho National Laboratory, a key milestone indicating its reactor system successfully sustained a nuclear chain reaction during testing. The American Nuclear Society highlighted the achievement, drawing attention from nuclear industry watchers who see it as a step toward compact, transportable nuclear power for remote sites, defense applications, and off-grid energy needs.
Why now: Achieving criticality is a major technical milestone in advanced nuclear reactor development, and interest in deployable nuclear power is growing.
