## Description

Opportunity Join the DOE-NE Microreactor Program and Idaho National Laboratory in leveraging the MARVEL project to understand the operation of microreactors and how they interact with a microgrid or process heat applications. What is MARVEL? The Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) project is a nuclear microreactor test platform for integration and development of microreactor technologies and associated applications.

**Please Note:** Any research and development that alters the MARVEL safety basis will not be considered.

**Benefits Early Engagement:** Shape MARVEL capabilities to meet your needs.

**Microgrid Infrastructure:** Utilize nuclear energy and renewables for realistic testing.

**Support:** Access world-class facilities and relevant research for specific reactor technologies.

**Collaboration:** Share feedback with other users and become an industry leader. Example Applications • Power Generation and Grid Integration • Energy Management and Storage • Industrial Process Heat • Microreactor Development and Operations For more information, contact Javier Martinez (javier.martinez@inl.gov)
