Construction continues on the hatch door installation at the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC)'s Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME). The facility will be operational and ready to accept its reactor test in spring 2026.
Let the countdown begin as NRIC helps lead the charge to meet the nation’s demand for more abundant, affordable and reliable power.
DOME – the repurposed containment structure of EBR-II at Idaho National Laboratory – will be the first nuclear microreactor test bed in the world to safely house and test fueled experiments. It will provide reactor developers critical data for the advancement of American nuclear energy.
