Illinois Microreactor Research, Development & Demonstration Center
Nuclear, Plasma & Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Our Research
At the Illinois Microreactor RD&D (IMRD2) Center, directed by Professor Caleb Brooks under the Department of Nuclear, Plasma & Radiological Engineering at UIUC, we are developing the solutions and tools to bring nuclear microreactors to the nation's clean energy infrastructure. Expertise in reactor physics, nuclear security, and energy economics are being implemented to support the growth of sustainable nuclear generation for years to come.
