Westinghouse: SMR (225 MWe) as Callaway-2
A
fresh press release from Westinghouse indicates that the company will
team with Ameren Missouri to fund and construct a 225 MWe Westinghouse
SMR at Ameren Missouri's Callaway site.
Callaway hosts a single Westinghouse SNUPPS PWR reactor plant (one of two completed - the other being Wolf Creek.)

UPDATE - COMMENTARY
This plan appears to serve Westinghouse's intent to firmly compete in the SMR field (against established competitors NuScale, which has plans to build in South Carolina, and Babcock & Wilcox / Bechtel who have plans to build at the former Clinch River Breeder Reactor site in Tennessee.) This establishes three reactor vendors firmly in the SMR field and seems to assure a future for this type of nuclear power generation, at least in the short term.
