Tucked away in a corner of a nondescript building in the West, the next generation of microreactor technology is unfolding.
IDAHO FALLS — Tucked away in a corner of a nondescript building on the sprawling Idaho National Laboratory's complex in southeastern Idaho, next-generation microreactor technology is unfolding and happening at breakneck speed.
The Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation project, or MARVEL at INL, is designed to help industry bring the sedan-sized microreactor to commercial deployment. MARVEL, weighing just over 7 tons, will rope in that technology where feasible, fit in an underground nonvisible containment structure, and with its passive attributes that don't require hundreds of humans at the switch, deliver the necessary carbon-free energy to electrify and heat the town.
"We have not had a reactor like this before. We entirely designed the system from scratch and the thing that makes this unique is that it does not have any pumps to drive the coolant around the reactor. It is driven naturally."

Greener pastures? 2,500 hopeful sheep cross Idaho highwayIt's not unusual in Idaho to see a herd of sheep bleating as ranchers move them to higher elevation. But 2,500 of the wooly animals crossing a highway drew a crowd about 300 people earlier this week. The spokesperson for the Idaho Rangeland Resources Commission says it's the largest crowd he's seen in 15 years. Steven Stuebner says it's typical in rural parts of Idaho, but is still a novelty to some people. KTVB-TV reports the sheep will continue the journey through the foothills for a few weeks and move into the Boise National Forest, where they will spend the summer.
