ZettaJoule ZJ0 research reactor at Texas A&M (TEES)
Research reactor. TEES and ZettaJoule agreed in February 2026 to explore building the ZJ0 high-temperature gas-cooled research reactor next to the TEES Nuclear Engineering & Science Center in College Station. Distinct from the RELLIS records. Texas A&M describes it as a very-high-temperature modular reactor from an SMR developer; it is not labelled a microreactor.
