US nuclear regulator greenlights its first small modular reactor
August 1, 2022 /
The first generation-IV nuclear reactor design has been approved for certification by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). NuScale’s small modular reactor design promises safe, clean energy at radically reduced cost, land use and installation time.
The NRC released news last week that its staff have been directed to make a final rule certifying the NuScale reactor design for use in the United States. This is just the seventh design approved by the NRC since it was established in 1974, and the first of a coming generation of next-gen technologies designed to make nuclear power cheaper, easier and safer to implement than ever before.
