Yellowstone Energy, a Knoxville company, has received a grant totaling nearly $2.6 million to study research in advanced nuclear reactors.
The organization is the first in the area to receive a grant from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) on a project unaffiliated with either Oak Ridge National Laboratory or the University of Tennessee.
Yellowstone Energy is trying to develop a new reactor control technology to enhance safety and reduce costs for its advanced nuclear reactor designs, including one for a molten salt reactor.
