As global clean energy goals drive demand for nuclear innovation, advanced reactors—including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Generation IV systems—present a transformative solution for reliable, low-carbon power. However, bridging the gap from initial design concepts to commercial deployment requires overcoming critical engineering hurdles. This presentation highlights key engineering research carried out at UC Berkeley in support of advanced reactor concepts, with a focus on pebble bed and molten salt reactors.
