The term SMR refers to the size, capacity and modular construction. Reactor type and the nuclear processes may vary. Of the many SMR designs, the pressurized water reactor (PWR) is the most common. However, recently proposed SMR designs include: generation IV, thermal-neutron reactors, fast-neutron reactors, molten salt, and gas-cooled reactor ...
NuScale's VOYGR SMR plant is a "modular" system designed to easily scale from small to medium commercial applications. [121] The VOYGR relies on light water and works individually or in concert as teams of up to 12 modules. In its latest iteration, the maximum output for one module is 77 MWe. As a 12-module system, the VOYGR delivers up to 924 MWe.
