MARVEL, under development at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is a 85-kWth/20-kWe sodium-potassium-cooled microreactor that will help researchers explore advanced reactor applications, including microgrid integration, remote monitoring, and autonomous control technologies. TRIGA International recently began fabricating fuel for MARVEL, with the first shipment expected by spring 2025. Fuel loading is planned for 2026, and the reactor is projected to be operational by 2027. Source: DOE

Alight Commissions 215-MW Solar Park in Denmark

The Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa’s only nuclear power plant, began commercial operation in February 1975. Located in Palo, Iowa, about 9 miles northwest of Cedar Rapids, it was built in a low-seismic-risk area near the Cedar River and designed to withstand major flooding. After a derecho in August 2020 caused severe damage to its cooling towers, the 615-MW facility was retired earlier than its planned date in 2025. Originally licensed to operate until 2034, the plant is now undergoing decommissioning under the NRC’s SAFSTOR method. Courtesy: NextEra Energy
