While questions swirl around the future of large nuclear plants in the U.S., NuScale, majority owned by Fluor, is pushing a plan to build a nuclear plant using its small, 50-megawatt modular reactors.
On March 15, the Nuclear Regulatory Committee announced it would review NuScale’s application for its small modular reactor. The NRC is expected to take about 40 months to review the 12,000-page application.
