Microreactor technologies are required to provide reliable carbon-free power generation in remote applications. The heat pipe–cooled microreactor concept, particular, offers notable advantages due the passive operation of pipes, enabling increased reliability and simplicity a more compact form factor. There is significant need for experimental work aid expedite deployment pipe microreactors their unique technological characteristics. Thus, there has been interest experiments by numerous institutions order support these efforts.
