Advanced Nuclear Power Development

 

Extensive experience with the technical, economic and institutional aspects of advanced nuclear power systems plus an in-depth network of Associates have been gained through past and ongoing gas-cooled reactor programs. In particular, the founding principals of TI previously held the senior management positions of Gas-Cooled Reactor Associates, which represented utility interests in the U.S. gas-cooled reactor programs from 1977 through 1994. This overall experience has been applied to support ongoing gas reactor project initiatives based in the U.S., Russia, South Africa and France. A broad range of support activities includes: project development and planning support; design development of specific components and systems; risk-informed licensing strategy development and implementation; safety assessment support, including PRA application and training; and fuel development support for both prismatic and pebble based reactor designs. In addition, support is provided to EPRI for their gas-cooled reactor programs, including materials assessments to guide development programs, auxiliary bearings development for critical magnetic bearing applications and the economic assessment of hydrogen production with the various gas-cooled reactor designs, including technical, economics and infrastructure issues. The nuclear hydrogen assessment work has also been extended through the DOE Hydrogen Program and the related national laboratories, as well as through other private sector initiatives.
