AREVA welcomes the announcement by the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) Industry Alliance, LLC that AREVA’s prismatic core, 625 MW thermal, steam cycle modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (SC-HTGR), AREVA’s HTGR Generation IV reactor, was selected as the reactor design concept to provide high temperature process steam for industrial applications and electricity production.

“We are very pleased that the Alliance has selected the AREVA prismatic core, modular HTGR for the co-generation of process heat and electricity,” stated Mike Rencheck, Chief Operating Officer, AREVA Inc. “The industrial end-user requirements have been the primary consideration for making this advanced technology selection over other small modular reactors. The co-generation aspects offer long term, predictable energy supply.”
