Terra Innovatum, Mersen Produce Nuclear-Grade Graphite Prototype for 2027 Reactor Deployment
Terra Innovatum and Mersen have successfully manufactured a nuclear-grade graphite reactor core prototype to required tolerances, validating system integration for SOLO™ FOAK deployment targeted in 2027. This engineering milestone establishes quality standards and manufacturing readiness for scalable NOAK commercialization beginning in 2028.
1. Prototype Manufacturing Milestone
Terra Innovatum and Mersen have manufactured a nuclear-grade graphite reactor core prototype to precise tolerances, validating integration within the SOLO™ micro-reactor system and demonstrating manufacturing execution readiness for serialized production.
2. Deployment Timelines
The engineering prototype supports the First-of-a-Kind deployment scheduled for 2027 and establishes procedures and quality standards for the Nth-of-a-Kind commercialization planned in 2028.
3. Partnership and Material Supply
Mersen’s advanced materials expertise underpins this achievement, securing nuclear-grade graphite supplies and defining quality benchmarks essential to Terra Innovatum’s transition from supply chain preparation to scalable manufacturing.
