On July 14, 2023, Kairos Power LLC (Kairos) filed, pursuant to
section 104c of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended, part 50 of title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of
Production and Utilization Facilities,'' an application for two
construction permits for a two-unit test reactor facility located in
Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The two-unit facility is to be identified as
Hermes 2, and both units are based on a high-temperature fluoride salt-
cooled design that utilizes solid tri-structural isotropic fuel.
The application is available in ADAMS under Package Accession No.

transmittal letter (ADAMS Accession No. ML23195A122), the preliminary

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.
