How do Russia and the US measure up on SMRs? http://analysis.nuclearenergyinsider.com/small-modular-reactors/how-do-russia-and-us-measure-smrs?utm_source=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.nuclearenergyinsider.com%2Ffc_nei_decomlz%2F&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NEI+e-brief+0204&utm_term=How+do+Russia+and+the+US+measure+up+on+SMRs&utm_content=151899
"Recent developments have focused attention on small modular reactor
activity in the US. But Russia is pressing ahead with developments of
its own.
As previously reported in Nuclear Energy Insider, the
mPower America Team, made up of the Babcock & Wilcox Company, the
Tennessee Valley Authority and Bechtel, is powering ahead with SMR
commercialisation plans after winning US Department of Energy funding.
Meanwhile other American SMR developers, including Westinghouse,
NuScale Power, Gen4 Energy and SMR LLC, are pressing forward with
ambitious programmes of their own.
At stake, not only an important
domestic market, but also the potential for exports to emerging nuclear
customers in regions such as the Middle East and North Africa. But US
manufacturers are not alone in the race to make SMRs a commercial
reality."
