Interested in helping us transform thermal and electric energy?
Become a part of the leading Generation-IV nuclear plant development team.Terrestrial Energy is developing, for near-term commercial operation, a zero-emissions cogeneration plant for a global industry using its proprietary Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) fission technology in an innovative, small and modular plant design. The IMSR is a non-Light Water Reactor of the Generation IV class that operates at the high temperature required for broad industrial relevance with transformative economic potential.
The IMSR plant is ideally suited for distributed generation on a large-scale of electricity and heat across many energy-intensive industries. This includes but is not limited to: petrochemical and chemical plants, and data centers. The IMSR plant provides a near 50 percent improvement in efficiency of electric power generation compared to Light Water Reactor nuclear plants. Its industrial cogeneration capability delivers to today’s markets industrial competitiveness, security of energy, and zero-emissions industrial production. The IMSR plants use of existing industrial materials, components, and fuels supports its near-term deployment, setting the stage for a transformation and rapid global decarbonization of the primary energy system.This position can be located in Oakville, Ontario, Canada or Charlotte, NC, USA.To execute this plan, we are now looking to add talented people to the team, each of whom will:
