What makes up our MARVEL microreactor? MARVEL is a liquid-metal cooled microreactor with Stirling engines that will produce 100 kilowatts of energy using small amounts of high-assay low-enriched uranium. It will be used to develop regulatory approval processes, test microreactor applications, evaluate systems for remote monitoring, and develop autonomous control technologies. MARVEL will be connected to Idaho National Laboratory's first nuclear microgrid and is expected to begin operation by the
