The Holtec SMR-160, originally named the Holtec Inherently Safe Modular Underground Reactor, is a single loop natural circulation 160 MWe pressurized water reactor with a passive core cooling system without pumps or valves. It uses standard size PWR enriched uranium fuel. [12] [13]
The reactor is proprietary molten salt reactor design that builds on two existing designs: the Denatured Molten Salt Reactor (DMSR) and Small Modular Advanced High Temperature Reactor (smAHRT). Both designs are from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The key technology of the IMSR® is the integration of the primary reactor components, the ...
The small modular reactor (SMR) is a class of small nuclear fission reactor, 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. Of the ...
Holtec is developing the SMR-160, an advanced light water reactor that can generate 160 MW of power. The first SMR-160s are scheduled to enter service around 2030, Holtec said.
Holtec, which is decommissioning the Oyster Creek nuclear plant, announced that Hyundai is joining a project to build a new type of nuclear reactor.
GE Hitachi (GEH) has over 60 years of experience in designing, deploying, and servicing nuclear reactors, with 67 reactors licensed in 10 countries. They have produced over 165,000 BWR fuel bundles and hold over 6,660 patents. GEH is leading in small modular reactor (SMR) development, offering clean, reliable, and decarbonized power.
Instead of demolishing the plant’s three reactors and other buildings on the 240-acre site by 2033, Holtec said it will need until 2041. The radioactive water will remain on the site while ...
NuScale's SMR designs employ 9 feet (2.7 m) diameter by 65 feet (20 m) high reactor vessels that use conventional cooling methods and run on low enriched uranium fuel assemblies based on existing light water reactor designs. Each module is intended to be kept in an underground pool and is expected to produce about 77 megawatts of electricity.
