Advanced Reactor Design & Integration Engineering

The contract supports the integration of private advanced reactor designs into the DOME test facility at Idaho Falls, focusing on engineering tasks such as interface design, thermal-hydraulic modeling, and compatibility analysis with existing Idaho National Laboratory infrastructure. This work ensures that novel reactor concepts can be safely and effectively tested within the facility, requiring close coordination between private developers and national lab systems to address technical, operational, and safety constraints. The project emphasizes engineering precision to align private innovation with federal testing capabilities. This is a subcontract under the Department of Energy, managed by Battelle Energy Alliance, with a response deadline of June 19, 2026. The effort falls under NAICS code 541330, reflecting its classification as engineering services, and the performance location is fixed at Idaho Falls, ID, 83401. The initiative serves to accelerate the deployment of next-generation nuclear technologies by providing a structured pathway for private reactor developers to validate their designs in a federally supported, high-fidelity test environment. All activities must meet stringent safety and compatibility standards defined by the national laboratory’s operational framework.
