The demand for new nuclear facilities is increasing in the energy, research, and medical sectors. Through research reactors, the PRO-X team plans to demonstrate that proliferation resistance can positively impact the entire industry
Using unique capabilities at U.S. national laboratories, the Proliferation Resistance Optimization (PRO-X) program reduces nuclear risks while supporting research by helping international partners design new research reactors and facilities that reduce production of dangerous nuclear material while optimizing reactor performance.
