[ RadSafe ] Modular Reactors

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

It didn't specifically say on the site (at least not that I saw), but I
assume that the concept is to run the reactor until it just can't stay
critical anymore, then leave it in place the equivalent of putting the
fuel in a spent fuel pool.  Is that correct?

NuScale power, located in Corvallis Oregon, is in process of designing
and commercializing, a modular, scalable 45 Megawatt electric Light
Water Reactor nuclear power plant. Each NuScale module has its own
combined containment vessel and reactor system, and its own designated
turbine-generator set. NuScale power plants are scalable, allowing for a
single facility to have just one or up to 12 units. In a multi-module
plant, one unit can be taken out of service without affecting the
operation of the others.

NuScale notified the NRC in February 2008 of its intent to pursue Design
Certification for its technology. The company is in the pre-application
review phase with the NRC. For more information about NuScale power
please check our website www.nuscalepower.com
