NuCube test microreactor at the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab
Test reactor proposal. Utah's Office of Energy Development and NuCube Energy signed a memorandum of understanding in June 2025 to site and test a NuCube microreactor (NuSun-1) at the lab in Orangeville. No schedule, rating or authorization step has been published. Distinct from the Ward 250 and Nuclea records at the same lab.
