Texas A&M launches Advanced Nuclear Proving Ground for Small Modular Reactors – CoveringKaty.com

College Station, Texas (covering Katy News) – The Texas University System A&M plans to turn the land near Brian into a test site for advanced nuclear energy, striving to provide reliable electricity that is not dependent on the time for the electricity network in the text.

Small modular reactors can start construction within five years

Chancellor John Sharp announced on Tuesday that the system will offer land in its Texas A & M-Relis Campus to nuclear reactors companies to build small modular reactors needed for artificial intelligence, data centers and the fast-growing population of Texas S

Nuclear companies partner with Texas A&M for next -generation power

“Usually and simple: the United States needs more power,” Sharp said. “And nowhere in the country, besides Texas, it is not ready to activate and build its necessary power plants. Thanks to the governor of Governor Greg Abbot and others in the Texas Government of Texas, Texas A&M system is ready to activate and do what is necessary for the country to flourish.

Four nuclear innovators join Texas for energy testing

The project, called “Earth to prove energy,” brings together four nuclear companies: Kairos Power, Natura Resources, Land Energy and Aalo Atomics. These companies will develop reactors in the 2400 acres innovation campus, using it for both prototype testing and commercial implementation.

ERCOT GRID to take advantage of the new nuclear energy production

The initial advanced construction of a reactor can begin within five years, potentially powering the power in the electrical advice for reliability of the Texas Network known as ERCOT.

Kairos Power plans a multiple commercial reactors implementation

“We are excited about the inertia for new nuclear implementation at Texas A & M-Rellis and its potential to support the US energy security and continuing economic growth,” said Mike Laufer, co-founder and CEO of Kairos Power. “We look forward to cooperating with the Texas A&M system to improve the mission of clean energy of Kairos Power and play a new role in the development of the nation’s future nuclear workforce.”

Natura Resources expands the five -year partnership with Texas A & M

The Natura Resources, which has cooperated with the Texas A&M system for five years, will deploy its shopping system on the site.

“We are glad to continue this partnership with the Texas A&M system to implement our commercial system, Natura MSR-100, at Texas A & M-Relis Campus,” said Natura Resources founder and CEO Douglas Robyison. “We plan to show how our technology can meet the energy needs of Texas and the nation.”

Advantages of Neighborhood with Research and Nuclear Engineering Facilities of Texas A&M

“Our partnership with Texas A&M in its campus is an important strategic connection that shows the trade potential of our small modular power plant and its advanced nuclear technology,” says Simon Irland, CEO of The Sterrostrial Energy. “The ignition of the IMSR plant in the Rellis campus uses the possibilities of research and nuclear engineering of Texas A&M; provides a source of clean, solid electricity for the local network (ERCOT) and positions Texas as a leader in the nuclear technology sector.”

Aalo Atomics to deploy six advanced nuclear pods

Aalo Atomics plans to construct up to six Aalo pods on the site.

“We are excited to partner with the leader of innovation such as the Texas A&M system and jointly to help shape the future of energy, while creating opportunities for research, education and economics of Texas,” said Mat Lozak, co -founder and CEO of Aalo Atomics. “This collaboration is a major step for Aalo as it provides us with a platform for demonstrating the potential of our factory mass -produced nuclear technology to ensure reliable, clean energy, which will eventually power the next generation of data centers and AI infrastructure.”

One gig of clean energy planned for a Texas network

The university system began applying for a permit for an early place by the US Nuclear Regulation Commission. The proposed development can accommodate many small modular reactors that produce more than one gig of electricity.

Research leader predicts the national impact of nuclear initiative

“The agreements that the Texas A&M system has with KAiros, Natura, ground and Aalo will change the energy landscape across the country,” said Joe Elabd, the deputy final of the research system. “The Energy Earth will allow these companies to safely test their SMR and lay the basis for the placement of small nuclear reactors throughout the country.”

This initiative progresses the width of Texas A&M for nuclear research and education while positioning the system in the foreground in sustainable energy solutions.
