Small modular reactors (SMR s) are a class of small nuclear fission reactors, designed to be built in a factory, shipped to operational sites for installation and then used to power buildings or other commercial operations. The term SMR refers to the size, capacity and modular construction. Reactor type and the nuclear processes may vary.
NuScale Power Corporation. NuScale Power Corporation is a publicly traded American company that designs and markets small modular reactors (SMRs). It is headquartered in Portland, Oregon. A 50 MWe version of the design was certified by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in January 2023. [3] The current scalable 77 MWe SMR VOYGR design ...
Website. www.rolls-royce-smr.com. The Rolls-Royce SMR, also known as the UK SMR, [1] is a small modular reactor (SMR) design being developed by the Rolls-Royce (RR) company in the United Kingdom. The company has been given financial support by the UK Government to develop its design. It is estimated in 2019 that the 470 MWe units will cost ...
In 2019, the Clinch River Nuclear Site was the first small modular reactor project to get an early site permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, giving TVA the all-clear to move towards ...
The most recent large-scale nuclear power plants built in the United States, Units 3 and 4 at U.S. utility giant Southern's Vogtle nuclear power facility, were billions of dollars over budget and ...
Flibe Energy: United States. Flibe Energy is a US-based company established to design, construct and operate small modular reactors based on liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) technology (a type of molten salt reactor). The name "Flibe" comes from FLiBe, a F luoride salt of Li thium and Be ryllium, used in LFTRs.
In September 2021, A&M's Engineering Experiment Station established a new Center for Advanced Small Modular and Micro Nuclear Reactors. Called "small modular reactors," the newer-generation plants ...
BWRX-300. The BWRX-300 is a design for a small modular nuclear reactor proposed by GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH). The BWRX-300 would feature passive safety, in that neither external power nor operator action would be required to maintain a safe state, even in extreme circumstances.
