This advanced nuclear reactor company–which went public in 2022– is leading a number of large-scale projects across Central and Eastern Europe. NuScale is particularly active in Poland, where it will build its flagship VOYGR SMR power plant with up to 924 MWe of electricity as early as 2029. A newcomer in the nuclear technology market, Poland chose...
Nuclear innovation company TerraPower was founded in 2008 by Bill Gates and other private sector leaders. The company is now recognized as an international leader in the SMR space, having secured a whopping $80 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 2020 to support the development of its next-generation Natrium nucle...
Leading SMR company Westinghouse Electric propelled to the forefront of the nuclear technology industry with its transportable eVinci™ micro reactor. More of a nuclear battery than a traditional nuclear reactor, the high-temperature heat pipe reactor can generate 5 MW of electricity and up to 13 MW of heat from its 15 MW solid thermal core. >>>READ...
SMR developer BWXT Technologies will build the first advanced nuclear microreactor in the United States. The nuclear solutions firm was selected by the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Strategic Capabilities Office to manufacture a full-scale mobile microreactor prototype to be delivered for testing to the Idaho National Laboratory in 2024. The m...
SMR maker Kairos Power is betting on high-temperature molten salt reactors to provide competitive, reliable, and responsible nuclear energy. The company touts its fluoride salt-cooled high temperature reactors (KP-FHR) as an affordable and long-term alternative to conventional sources of energy like natural gas, the country’s primary fuel of choice...
Feb 8, 2023 · The reactors were supposed to start up in 2017. They still haven’t, and the project’s total cost has doubled, to over $30 billion, since construction began a decade ago. By contrast, NuScale ...
