Terrestrial Energy submits safety analysis to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Terrestrial Energy (IMSR) has submitted a safety analysis to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, marking another milestone in the company’s systematic progress toward licensed commercial operation of its Integral Molten Salt Reactor plant in U.S. markets. The submission, a topical report defining the safety events the IMSR is designed to withstand, is a required step toward NRC issuance of a Safety Evaluation Report and future licensing applications for IMSR plant operations. A topical report allows for NRC review of a safety-related topic and leads to a Safety Evaluation Report, a ruling that can be referenced in a future licensing application.
