Article Summaries:
- Terra Innovatum (TI) announced that it has secured all critical components for its SOLO micro‑modular reactor (MMR), completing supply‑chain alignment for both nuclear‑grade and non‑nuclear‑grade parts. The 1 MWe, high‑temperature gas‑cooled SOLO reactor uses helium coolant and standard low‑enriched uranium fuel, with a 15‑year refuelling interval and a 40‑ft shipping‑container footprint. TI has secured vendors for safety‑critical items such as fuel, control systems, graphite, pressure vessel, and core support, as well as primary and secondary plant systems. The company claims this readiness positions it ahead of many advanced‑reactor projects, and it recently went public on Nasdaq under NKLR.
