Terrestrial Energy's stock surged 6.26% in the 24-hour trading session following the announcement of a groundbreaking agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for Project TETRA, a pilot reactor utilizing its Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) technology.
The Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement, part of the DOE's Advanced Reactor Pilot Program, enables Terrestrial Energy to expedite the development, licensing, and operation of its IMSR plants. The pilot reactor will use molten salt-fueled, graphite-moderated technology with standard assay, low-enriched uranium fuel, positioning the company for swift commercialization of its clean energy solutions.
The project is designed to deliver 390 megawatts of low-cost, flexible clean energy for power and industrial heat applications, leveraging existing U.S. manufacturing infrastructure. This partnership underscores Terrestrial Energy's leadership in advanced reactor innovation and its potential to transform the clean energy landscape.
