The mPower SMR: A practical option for the global energy industry

摘要

The mPower small modular reactor (SMR) program was launched in 2009 to develop a nuclear reactor capable of delivering carbon-free baseload electricity at a smaller scale and with potentially fewer licensing restrictions than those of large light-water reactors. The integral pressurized water reactor architecture of the mPower SMR offers a safe, affordable, and practical power generation option for the global energy industry. Since the inception of the mPower program, substantial work has been completed on the conceptual design of the nuclear island, and critical components and systems have undergone testing to demonstrate the unique features of the technology.
