The two new reactors, which will provide a total of 2,300 megawatts, will use Westinghouse’s technology, the government said in a statement. Earlier this year, U.S.-based nuclear equipment ...
The failure of SCANA and Westinghouse to build the nuclear plant in Fairfield County, a surprise development announced in July 2017, threw thousands of people out of work and led to a buyout of ...
International Reactor Innovative and Secure (IRIS) is a Generation IV reactor design made by an international team of companies, laboratories, and universities and coordinated by Westinghouse. IRIS is hoped to open up new markets for nuclear power and make a bridge from Generation III reactor to Generation IV reactor technology. The design is ...
In October 2012, Westinghouse Electric Corporation signed a multi-year research and collaboration agreement with Missouri S&T to utilize MSTR and "support the development of multiple cutting-edge research projects at the institutions that will benefit the Westinghouse Small Modular Reactor (SMR) project and the nuclear energy industry as a ...
Constellation Energy stock fell 12.5% Monday amid a broader decline in nuclear power stocks following the US government's rejection of another Big Tech nuclear power agreement late Friday.
Certification testing and analysis of the AP600 and AP1000 reactor designs for Westinghouse were conducted at the APEX facility at Oregon State University. The one-quarter scale reduced pressure integral system certified the passively safe systems that cool the reactor core using gravity and natural circulation.
Developed by an international consortium led by Westinghouse and the nuclear energy research initiative (NERI), IRIS-50 is a modular PWR with a generation capacity of 50 MWe. It uses natural circulation for the coolant. The fuel is a uranium oxide with 5% enrichment of 235 U that can run for five years between refueling. Higher enrichment might ...
The project would require a 1 million-square-foot nuclear fuel cycle facility and directly employ 1,000 workers. Union sounds off on plans for $4.5 billion advanced nuclear fuel plant near ...
