Beryllium and Beryllium Oxide Products to Enable Clean Energy
Solutions
Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN), a global leader in advanced
materials solutions, has entered into a purchase agreement to
supply beryllium and beryllium oxide materials for a nuclear
microreactor test bed being developed by Idaho National Laboratory
(INL). This test bed will support microreactor development,
including the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Microreactor
Applications Research Validation and Evaluation Project (MARVEL).
The purchase agreement will commence in 2023.
“With the increasing focus on developing transportable clean
energy solutions, Materion is pleased to be part of the MARVEL
project that will fast track development and commercialization of
microreactors and supporting infrastructure,” said Clive Grannum,
president of Materion Performance Materials. “In addition to INL,
Materion is working closely with all our nuclear energy customers,
both current and prospective, to align our products with the
evolving requirements of the industry today and into the
future.”
MARVEL is an experimental sodium-potassium-cooled microreactor
under construction that will test microreactor applications and
control technologies. It will also test microreactor capabilities
for a variety of electrical and nonelectrical applications,
including water purification and low-grade heat production for
district heating and greenhouse climate control.
“Beryllium is the best neutron reflecting material on the
periodic table, and it allows more efficient use of the nuclear
fuel,” said Yasir Arafat, INL’s project lead for MARVEL. “Materion
has the capability to deliver high-quality, nuclear-grade beryllium
for DOE’s MARVEL microreactor.”
