Company Makes First Submissions In Canada For SMR Design Review :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Company Makes First Submissions In Canada For SMR Design Review :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: US-based NuScale Power has made its first submissions to Canada’s nuclear regulator for a pre-licensing vendor design review (VDR) for its small modular reactor design.



The pre-licensing VDR is an optional service to assess a nuclear power plant design based on a vendor's reactor technology.



Canadian nuclear utility Bruce Power is supporting NuScale's evaluation, planning and licensing activities under a November 2019 agreement to develop a business case to introduce NuScale SMR technology to Canada. Ontario Power Generation is also advising the company on the potential deployment of its technology in Canada and on the SMR licensing and the VDR process.
