Public Outreach & Engagement
This project would not be possible without the input and collaboration from our University partners and Champaign-Urbana neighbors. The microreactor is not only meant to progress clean energy technology, but to also bolster and support the local community and University. To become involved with the licensing process, attend one of our monthly public meetings listed below where we discuss different aspects of the project and answer questions from attendees.
