NuScale completes VOYGR plant project

NuScale Power has reached a new milestone with the completion of the VOYGR SMR plant design project.

A business strategy

NuScale manages to produce 12,000 deliverables in the standard factory design (SPD). Founded in 2007, the U.S. company is the market leader in small modular reactors(SMRs). It is starting to deploy them in several European countries such as Poland and Romania.

The SPD developed by NuScale provides customers with a generic design for NuScale VOYGR SMR plants. This will serve as a starting point for the design of sites hosting these plants. They will be used to support customer licensing and deployment activities.

Among these deliverables, NuScale provides equipment lists, data sheets, detailed system design specifications and calculations. In addition, it also provides piping and mechanical instrumentation diagrams. This will allow potential customers to assess the suitability of NuScale’s technology for them.

A showcase for NuScale

NuScale’s completion of the plant design ahead of schedule sends a strong signal to its potential future customers. This announcement demonstrates NuScale’s readiness, while highlighting the company’s progress toward delivering SMR plants to customers around the world. NuScale CEO John Hopkins sees this achievement as a demonstration of their unparalleled technology maturity.

In addition, the U.S. Nuclear Safety Authority recently approved the company’s methodology for delineating emergency planning zones. These elements accentuate the differentiation of Nuscale from the competition. The completed design project provides an important anchor for current and future NuScale customers.

This allows them to focus investment and engineering resources on site-specific concerns. This plant design project was a critical step in enabling NuScale to deploy its SMRs. This technology provides energy for power generation, desalination and hydrogen production.
