In recent years there has been renewed interest in nuclear power for the purposes of combating climate change. ARC Nuclear’s ARC-100 reactor design requires extensive research and development to deploy a prototype. Significant effort is needed to develop the materials to be used in the reactor’s core. HT9 is a specialty steel alloy which has shown some promising results in the past and therefore has been selected for use in the ARC-100. The main objective of this project is to manufacture a batch of HT9 and test its properties, to ensure that it can withstand the environment of a nuclear reactor core. This knowledge will allow ARC Nuclear to make an informed choice: whether they should use HT9 and begin its commercial production; or, pursue different materials instead.
