Company's second OTA agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) provides an expedited pathway to authorize operation of TEFLA, a pilot plant for IMSR Fuel Salt production
Project TEFLA accelerates Terrestrial Energy's plans to demonstrate IMSR Fuel Salt production, a key element of the Company's business strategy
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terrestrial Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:IMSR) ("Terrestrial Energy" or "the Company"), a developer of small modular nuclear power plants using its Generation IV Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) technology, today announced that it has executed an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for Project TEFLA, a pilot production facility that will demonstrate IMSR Fuel Salt production. This announcement marks an important milestone in Terrestrial Energy's engagement with the Fuel ** Pilot Program, established under Executive Order 14301, which seeks to address the nation's shortage of domestic nuclear fuel resources by developing or building fuel production lines to increase production capacity.
Project TEFLA will support Terrestrial Energy's commercial IMSR plant development and future deployments by demonstrating the Company's proprietary IMSR Fuel Salt production technology. TEFLA will produce IMSR fuel at pilot plant scale, synthesizing the fuel to precise reactor requirements using readily available standard-assay low-enriched uranium (SALEU) enriched to less than 5% U235 as feedstock. Fuel produced under Project TEFLA will support the Company's Project TETRA test reactor project, being developed under DOE's Advanced Reactor Pilot Program through a recently signed separate OTA agreement. Project TEFLA will leverage Terrestrial Energy's existing supplier relationships to obtain key components, fuel feedstock, and transportation services.
