Abstract
Micro-reactors (i.e., very small transportable or mobile nuclear reactors with a capacity less than 20 MWt) are being developed to supply heat and power for various applications in remote areas, military installations, emergency operations, humanitarian missions, and disaster relief zones. A wide variety of reactor types are under consideration, including sodium-cooled fast reactors, molten salt reactors, light water reactors, very-high-temperature gas reactors, and heat pipe reactors. These miniaturized transportable reactor designs remain largely untested and unproven. System and component testing are needed to demonstrate design safety and system robustness, reliability and efficiency.
