NuScale Power - Corporate Information

http://www.nuscalepower.com/about-us

NuScale in the UK. About NuScale: Leading SMR Innovation. NuScale’s innovative thinking led the development of an Integral Pressurized Water Reactor (IPWR). The reactor, steam generator, pressurizer, and containment are integrated into a single module. The NuScale Power Module. Is only 50MWe (gross), and a plant can be designed to accommodate growing electrical demand by simply adding additional modules as the need arises. NuScale Power in the News. NuScale in the UK.

NuScale Power - Why Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)

http://www.nuscalepower.com/why-smr

NuScale in the UK. Why Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Smaller, simplified reactors are poised to reinvent nuclear energy and bring deliver economic, carbon-free power to support global demand. Given the inherent advantages of nuclear power, investment in a new generation of nuclear plants is revolutionizing the industry. Age and requirements for cleaner, lower carbon emissions are eroding the baseload capacity of coal based generation in the U.S.

NuScale Power - Environmental Footprint

http://www.nuscalepower.com/why-smr/environmental-footprint

NuScale in the UK. Potential Impacts of Deploying an Electrical Generating Technology. Every electrical generating technology has characteristics that can’t be reduced to dollar and cents. The summation of these characteristics, add up to a generalized consideration called environmental footprint. One of these characteristics, energy density, can be viewed two ways. NuScale has developed SMR technology that has the smallest environmental footprint of available electricity generating technologies.

NuScale Power - Wind and Solar

http://www.nuscalepower.com/why-smr/wind-and-solar

NuScale in the UK. Renewable Technologies Increase Electrical Generation but Bring Their own Issues. Wind capacity expanded less aggressively in 2013, adding 1,070 MW of grid capacity. While wind and solar have made substantial capacity additions, the most fundamental issue with these renewables has not changed. Wind and solar are critically dependent on local weather conditions and only produce power about 25% of the time. Issues with other generation technologies. Diurnal Cycles of Wind and Solar.

NuScale Power - Natural Gas

http://www.nuscalepower.com/why-smr/natural-gas

NuScale in the UK. Fracking Changes the Economics of Electrical Generation. New technologies have opened large tracts of shale gas deposits for exploitation that had previously been considered as not economical to recover. The new larger domestic inventory and resulting lower price of natural gas are having a profound effect on the energy industry. Public concerns with fracking are exacerbated by the many exceptions granted to fracking operations from federal regulations including an exemption granted to...

NuScale Power - Current Nuclear Generation

http://www.nuscalepower.com/why-smr/nuclear-generation

NuScale in the UK. Current Role of Nuclear Power. In the U.S. today there are 99 operating nuclear power reactors with a total installed capacity of about 100 GWe. This represents about 10% of U.S. electrical generating resources. However, the high reliability and base load status of these plants results in a contribution of about 20 percent of the actual U.S. electricity generation. The NuScale SMR has key characteristics that answer many of the concerns raised by communities as utilities consider new n...
