ARC-100 first-of-a-kind deployment framework at Idaho National Laboratory

In July 2026 ARC Clean Technology signed a Strategic Partnership Project agreement with Battelle Energy Alliance, INL's operator, establishing a multi-year framework to support the first-of-a-kind deployment of the 100 MWe ARC-100 at INL, from detailed design through commissioning, operation and site development. Individual task statements each need DOE approval; no location within INL, licence application or schedule is published. Separate from NB Power's Point Lepreau proposal.
