Holtec targets making 1000 Modular reactors, Each 140 Megawatts at $800 million from Next Big Future by noreply@blogger.com (brian wang) The Holtec HI-SMUR 140 light water reactor was presented in 2011. (26 pages) It will be factory mass produced. Holtec, through its subsidiary, SMR L.L.C., is one of four finalists in the running for a $452 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. The plan is for the U.S. to fund two small modular nuclear reactor designs that will become available for licensing and production by 2022. Holtec estimates it can build its new (140 MWe) plant for about $800 million. The company’s more likely future market is probably outside the U.S. The plant will need to sell 1,000 units to make the small nuclear reactors a financial winner.
