BWRX-300: Our advanced small modular reactor (SMR)
Powered by commercially available fuel, the BWRX-300 features an innovative and simplified configuration, resulting in less concrete and steel needed for construction. The BWRX-300 is a cost-competitive solution that can be deployed for electricity generation and industrial applications, including hydrogen production, desalination, and district heating. It features significantly less capital cost per MW when compared with a typical water-cooled reactor, and using a combination of modular and open-top construction techniques, the BWRX-300 SMR can be built in approximately 24–36 months from first nuclear concrete pour to ready for fuel load for nth-of-a-kind units.
SMRs are on their way. Watch the video to see the progress for yourself.
