Terrestrial Energy's submission of the Thermal and Electric Facility Topical Report to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission seeks to classify the non-nuclear part of its Integrated Molten Salt Reactor plant as a conventional industrial project, allowing it to be constructed and operated ahead of the nuclear licensing process, potentially accelerating deployment.
