Today, we’re celebrating a major milestone for the future of advanced nuclear energy. BWXT manufactured TRISO fuel has successfully powered Antares Nuclear’s reactor through first criticality, marking the first new reactor to reach this milestone under the Administration’s Executive Order 14301. Congratulations to the @AntaresNuclear team, the U.S. Department of @ENERGY (DOE), @INL and all those involved! This achievement demonstrates what’s possible when U.S. innovation, proven fuel technology and a worldclass nuclear workforce come together. Huge credit goes to the #BWXT teams whose skill, precision and dedication continue to advance next generation reactor demonstrations across the country. Exciting days ahead! bwxt.com/bwxt-manufactures-t… #NuclearEnergy #TRISO #AdvancedReactors
