EnergySolutions, Salt Lake City, will consider putting nuclear reactors under development at Terrestrial Energy, a Charlotte, N.C., on some of the Utah-based company’s sites, the companies said Wednesday.
In a joint press release, the companies said they signed a memorandum of understanding “to collaborate on the siting and deployment of Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) plants at EnergySolutions-owned sites.”
Terrestrial Energy, which has not produced a reactor yet, is “currently engaged in pre-application activities” with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, according to the agency.
EnergySolutions in 2023 said it was considering using some of its sites, including the Kewaunee Nuclear Generating Station in Carlton, Wis., about 30 miles south of Green Bay, as host sites for new nuclear reactors.
