BWRX-300

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 SMR, and using a combination of modular and open-top construction techniques, the BWRX-300 can be constructed in 24-36 months while achieving a volume reduction in plant layout.
