ARPA-E

The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) catalyzes transformational energy technologies that could create a more secure and affordable American future. We advance high-potential, high-impact energy technologies that are too early for private-sector investment. ARPA-E awardees are unique because they are developing entirely new ways to generate, store, and use energy.

Moltex Energy

Grant in 2020
Moltex Energy is a leader in nuclear technology, focusing on the development of its Stable Salt Reactor - Wasteburner (SSR-W), which offers a carbon-free electricity generation solution. This innovative reactor design utilizes recycled nuclear waste as fuel, produced through Moltex's proprietary Waste To Stable Salt (WATSS) recycling process. The SSR-W provides reliable, large-scale power generation ranging from 300 to 500 MWe per reactor, while its inherent safety features make it suitable for a variety of community settings. Additionally, the integration of GridReserve technology allows energy from the SSR-W to be stored as heat and released to the grid during peak demand, enhancing the reliability of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Moltex Energy has been selected by NB Power to advance its reactor technology in New Brunswick, Canada, aiming to deploy its first SSR-W, WATSS, and GridReserve units at the Point Lepreau site.
