Thermal storage

Dispatch heat without forcing the reactor to chase load.

Salt-compatible thermal storage can smooth customer demand, support power dispatch, and let the reactor operate around steady-state economics.

Dispatch

Storage between reactor and customer

Thermal storage makes sense when the customer load is variable but the reactor earns more by staying stable and available.

Storage value

Storage turns high-temperature heat into a flexible product: process steam today, power during a price window, or reserve capacity under contract.

Demand smoothingBuffer short load swings without moving the core away from stable operation.
Power dispatchFeed turbines when prices or reliability contracts justify electric output.
Heat assuranceProtect process customers from interruptions during transient plant conditions.
Commercial optionalityShift between heat, power, and storage services as contract value changes.

Next: project siting

Storage, customers, heat distance, and licensing constraints all shape the campus layout.
