Terrestrial Energy is a U.S. nuclear technology company working on Generation IV nuclear technology. The nuclear plant is designed to produce cost-competitive, high-temperature thermal energy with zero emissions.

The company is developing a 2x195 MWe Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) plant design. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission completed its programmatic Pre-Licensing Vendor Design Review of the IMSR plant design successfully in 2023.

The IMSR uses molten salt reactor technology and is one example of a small modular reactor (SMR) characteristic of Generation IV nuclear reactor designs.
