The GE Research team aims to reduce operations and maintenance (O&M) costs by moving from a time- to condition-based predictive maintenance framework, using GE Hitachi’s BWRX-300 boiling water reactor as the reference design. Argonne National Laboratory: Maintenance of Advanced Reactor Sensors and Components (MARS) - $2,200,000.

Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [below, at bottom]. The first was the American NS Savannah , built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9 The reactors would be small, modular units.

In recent years, however, CSP development stalled amid the rapidly falling cost of solar PV. Inside the tower, molten salts are heated to 565 °C and flow down into storage tanks, turning water into steam to drive turbines. Massive solar-thermal arrays require steep upfront investment. It's flexible.
