Last year, Transatomic was awarded a voucher for work at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, performing cutting-edge modelling and simulation analysis. This project has produced extensive positive results, published by ORNL in a Technical Memorandum in January 2017, and points to the value of public-private partnerships in nuclear technology development. \u201cA primary measure of success for GAIN is the forging of productive relationships between the DOE laboratories and advanced technology developers like Transatomic,\u201d said Idaho National Laboratory\u2019s Dr. John Jackson, GAIN Technical Interface.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextbigfuture.com\/2017\/08\/argonne-lab-will-verify-transatomic-power-molten-fuel-salt.html\">https:\/\/www.nextbigfuture.com\/2017\/08\/argonne-lab-will-verif...-salt.html<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transatomic Power Corporation has been awarded a second voucher to complete work with the Argonne National Laboratory, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced last month.
