Company Announces SMR Can Deliver An Additional 25% Power :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Advanced testing and modelling have shown that an innovative small modular reactor being developed by US-based NuScale Power can generate an additional 25% more power per module for a total of 77 MW per module (gross), resulting in about 924 MW for the flagship 12-module power plant.
NuScale said the development would significantly lower the overnight capital cost of the light-water SMR technology on a per kilowatt basis from an expected $3,600 to approximately $2,850.
It said the 25% increase in power means a 12-module plant will now approach a size that makes it a competitor for the gigawatt-size market.
