    On September 29, 2021, Kairos Power LLC filed with the NRC pursuant 
to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended, and Part 50 of 
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic 
Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,'' an application 
for a construction permit for one test reactor located in Oak Ridge, 
Tennessee. The reactor is to be identified as Hermes and is a high-
temperature fluoride salt-cooled design. This design utilizes solid 
tri-structural isotropic fuel and a molten salt coolant.
    The application is available in ADAMS under Package Accession No. 
ML21272A375. Along with other documents, the ADAMS package includes the 
transmittal letter (ADAMS Accession No. ML21272A376) and the

The information submitted by the applicant includes certain 
administrative information such as financial qualifications submitted

pursuant to 10 CFR 50.34. The environmental report will be submitted at 
a later date.
    The NRC staff is currently undertaking its acceptance review of the 
application. If the application is accepted for docketing, subsequent 
Federal Register notices will be issued that address the acceptability 
of the tendered construction permit application for docketing and 
provisions for participation of the public in the permitting process.
