NuScale Power has announced its first submittal to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for pre-licensing vendor design review of NuScale's small modular reactor (SMR) design.
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.
NuScale Power on Jan. 12 submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to gain approval of its small modular reactor, the first such submission of the design to the agency.
