NuScale Power is developing a new modular light water reactor to supply reliable and abundant carbon-free nuclear energy. Our groundbreaking small modular reactor (SMR) design features a fully fabricated NuScale Power Module™ capable of generating 60 MW of electricity using a safer, smaller, scalable version of pressurized water reactor technology.  NuScales SMR technology performs as clean as wind and solar, and cleaner than any fossil fuel. It is ideally suited across diverse platforms including base load electricity, load-following support for renewables, very high-reliability micro-grids, and process heat or steam for district heating, desalination, and other industrial uses. Adaptable to changing consumer demand and resilient to changing weather conditions, NuScale SMRs are the perfect companion to renewables that face intermittent generation capability.   A NuScale power plant can house up to 12 SMRs for a total facility output of up to 720 megawatts (gross). The SMR design is scalable, allowing customers to incrementally increase facility output to match demand. It is also flexible, providing significant opportunities to reduce the financial commitments and overall production costs normally associated with giga-watt size nuclear facilities, including the amount of required staff because of the SMRs unparalleled safety features.   At NuScale, our commitment to safety is second to none. Smarter, more cost-effective, and simplified, our advanced SMR design eliminates two-thirds of previously required safety systems and components found in todays large reactors. This Triple Crown For Nuclear Plant Safety™ design safely shuts down and self-cools, indefinitely with no operator action, no AC or DC power, and no additional water. It is the first self-protecting reactor. 

Our Mission

Our Mission is clear: to improve the quality of life for humankind by continuously improving nuclear power.

The Benefits of NuScales Technology

The flexibility of our small modular reactor (SMR) design goes beyond delivering always-on base load power— it offers scalable advanced nuclear technology for the production of electricity, heat, and clean water to meet the biggest human needs across the globe. With a smarter and simplified design, we are able to eliminate two-thirds of internal and essential staff, reducing production costs. The small and scalable nature of our plants fits more locations and budgets while still meeting expanding energy needs. Also, there is a predictable long-term cost and base load dependability that cannot be matched by traditional thermal or intermittent renewable generation. These benefits and more make our SMR technology best suited to improve the quality of life for all humankind. Were changing the power that changes the world.

• The NuScale Power Module™ design is comprised of an integrated reactor vessel, steam generator, and containment vessel in a single cylindrical module.
• The small size of the completed module permits component shipment via conventional large object transport such as truck, rail, and barge.
• The NuScale Power Modules cost per kWh is competitive with other sources of base load electricity generation, and less than the cost per kWh of large nuclear units.

Our Technology Simplifies Design, Enhances Operability, and Reduces Risks

NuScales flexible design is redefining nuclear. Our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) is premised on well-established nuclear technology principles with a focus on integration of components, simplification or elimination of systems, and use of passive safety features. This results in a highly reliable operation underpinned by an extremely strong safety case and unparalleled asset protection, making it suitable to be sited at locations closer to where electricity or process heat are needed, providing the added benefit of being resilient during storms and outages. With our technology, we can improve the quality of life for all humankind.
