ARPA-E to award $27M for advanced nuclear reactor systems operational technology: GEMINA

Green Car Congress

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. Digital twins of MSRs will require this critical data, which is currently unavailable.

ARPA-E awarding up to $24M to 10 projects to support advanced nuclear power plants

Green Car Congress

These plants are all conventional light water reactors (LWR), the technology of which has evolved steadily over time. By using a closed Brayton-cycle engine with components connected directly to the reactor core, the team expects to simplify plant construction, leading to lower costs and shorter commissioning times.
