Our relationship with L3 MAPPS is another important step towards fully realizing that potential.” The agreement between Terrestrial Energy and L3 MAPPS sets the framework for the companies’ long-term collaboration. Contact: Sean Bradley, L3 MAPPS, telephone: (514) 787-4953. Support Services Orano and Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited (JNFL) have strengthened their relationship since end of December 2017 with a Support Services Agreement covering the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant (RRP) and the MOX fabrication Plant (J-MOX). Within this new framework, Orano and JNFL have signed two contracts for the support of J-MOX, currently under construction at the Rokkasho-Mura site, in Northern Japan. In the first contract, 20 experts from Orano Melox and Orano Projets will provide until April 2019 a technical review for J-MOX key equipment, focused on maintainability, operation and product quality. In the second contract, Melox experts will deliver their experience feedback of maintenance on some Melox equipment, similar to those planned for J-MOX. Other contracts will follow to accompany the different steps of J-MOX Terrestrial Energy and L3 MAPPS Sign Agreement (July 19, 2018) Rangesh Kasturi (President, L3 MAPPS) (left) and Simon Irish (Chief Executive Officer, Terrestrial Energy (right) celebrate agreement signing. New Products & Contracts New Products Personal Dosimeter A new personal dosimeter is designed to better protect personnel at nuclear power plants, medical facilities and other sites with radioactive materials. The new device combines gamma and beta dosimetry with telemetry in one compact unit. The ThermoScientific EPDTruDose electronic personal dosimeter offers advancements over previous models in the EPD line. It is designed to reduce the risk of radiation exposure and workplace interruption by providing real-time, ultra- precise dosage information. Additionally, the instrument features enhanced alarm packages and an easier-to-navigate menu in a more rugged instrument. The dosimeter measures both gamma and beta radiation and incorporates pulsed detection technology for optimal performance in pulsed field environments. The EPD TruDose instrument also integrates Bluetooth Low Energy to connect and receive data from multiple devices at once through a separate transmitter, designed to minimize a facility’s telemetry footprint and energy consumption. The Thermo Scientific EPD TruDose electronic personal dosimeter also offers:  A range of alarm capabilities, including added warning thresholds and silent vibe alarms for covert homeland security operations.  Integrated electromagnetic shielding of high tolerance to electro-magnetic fields.  Configuration with Thermo Scientific EasyEPD3 software, which reads and writes data via an infrared communications link and displays the data in a PC window.  A compact design for easy and secure attachment to a belt, rear clip, lanyard or shirt pocket.  Optional accessories, including a desktop reader, an infrared reader and telemetry radios.

Contracts Advanced Reactor Technology Development L3 MAPPS and Terrestrial Energy announced that they have signed an agreement to develop real-time simulation for Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR), a Generation IV advanced nuclear power plant. The simulation is a key tool to model IMSR power plant performance. It will support the engineering development of the IMSR power plant design, its licensing, and ultimately, power plant customers by supporting operator training. “It is a natural fit for Terrestrial Energy – a frontrunner in the development of Generation IV reactor technology – to join forces with L3 MAPPS, the leading developer of nuclear power plant simulation technology,” said Rangesh Kasturi, President of L3 MAPPS. “We look forward to working with Terrestrial Energy and combining our respective technologies to achieve advanced reactor technological firsts.” “We identified modeling and simulation as a priority area last year, so we are delighted now to be working with L3 MAPPS and benefitting from the world-class simulation capabilities that they bring to the IMSR project,” said Simon Irish, Chief Executive Officer of Terrestrial Energy. “IMSR power plants are transformative energy technology EPD TruDose electronic personal dosimeter.
