NRC okays construction permits for Hermes 2 test facility
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced yesterday that it has directed staff to issue construction permits to Kairos Power for the company's proposed Hermes 2 nonpower test reactor facility to be built at the Heritage Center Industrial Park in Oak Ridge, Tenn. The permits authorize Kairos to build a facility with two 35-MWt test reactors that would use molten salt to cool the reactor cores.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Advanced Reactor Fuel Cycles and Simulations
Dr. Holly Trellue, Los Alamos National Laboratory, is an expert in advanced reactor fuel cycles and simulations and is leading several nuclear energy and nonproliferation-related efforts. Dr. Trellue has performed neutronic and depletion simulations on numerous reactor systems over the past 28 years and is the Technical Area Lead for the DOE-NE Microreactor Program. She has significant experience working on reactor/critical experiment simulations, nuclear data, and nonproliferation topics related to reactors as well as nuclear fuel cycle analysis. She earned a PhD in nuclear engineering from the University of New Mexico in 2003 and is now also the leader of the Engineering Institute at LANL.
