The @OakRidgeOffice has exceeded its processing goal for uranium-233. This important work enables the recovery of thorium-229, which can be used to produce ac-225.

TPI® is proud to advance the ac-225 supply chain & expand access to this rare medical isotope. Learn more:

Our employees graduated from the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations’ First Line Leadership Essentials Seminar at HQ last week. By investing in strong nuclear leadership & continuous learning, we’re building the capabilities needed to deliver advanced nuclear safely & reliably.

The Natrium® technology pairs a sodium-cooled fast reactor with a gigawatt-scale, integrated energy storage system. The energy storage system stores heat in molten salt and uses it to generate electricity when demand rises, allowing the plant to adjust its electric output.

Nuclear solutions in action

In this test assembly, metal rods are heated with electricity as liquid sodium flows around them. Sensors measure temperature, flow, & pressure data, advancing sodium-cooled reactor technology for the Natrium® plant.

Construction crews have installed the first precast concrete panel for TPI®’s new Ac-225 manufacturing facility. Manufactured off-site and lifted into position on-site, these panels will form the facility’s exterior walls, marking an important step as the facility takes shape.
