NuScale Power and Oklo specialize in the development of small modular nuclear reactors, designed to produce a fraction of the power output of a traditional 1 gigawatt-plus nuclear power plant.
The AP600 is a model of relatively small, 600 MWe nuclear power plant designed by Westinghouse Electric Company.The AP600 has passive safety features characteristic of the Generation III reactor concept.
A diagram of a NuScale small modular reactor (SMR) NuScale reactors would take 1% of the space of a conventional reactor and generate 77 MWe. [64] [65] [66] The design uses light water for cooling and power generation as in conventional nuclear plants. Water is heated by the nuclear core at the base of the reactor vessel.

The stable salt reactor (SSR) is a nuclear reactor design proposed by Moltex Energy. [118] It represents a breakthrough in molten salt reactor technology, with the potential to make nuclear power safer, cheaper and cleaner. The modular nature of the design, including reactor core and non-nuclear buildings, allows rapid deployment on a large scale.
It's a big setback for the nuclear industry's dream of small modular reactors. But NuScale insists it learned a lot over the last 10 years it spent developing the Carbon Free Power Project.
Westinghouse owns a nuclear fuel fabrication plant at Västerås, Sweden which has provided nuclear fuel for Russian VVER-1000 nuclear reactors. In 2000 Westinghouse started development of fuel for customers in Finland and Hungary, supported by cheap Export–Import Bank of the United States loans, but the business remained small-scale in ...
NuScale Power's hope is that it can build small nuclear reactors in a factory at relatively low cost. Those units will be modular and can be joined together in groups of up to 12 to create what ...
