Trawsfynydd in Wales ist Gegenstand von Gesprächen mit NuScale, um von einer Nuklearanlage am Rande des Dorfes zu profitieren.

Eine kommerzielle Rivalität

Trawsfynydd steht im Mittelpunkt von Gesprächen mit der walisischen Regierung über die Ansiedlung kleiner modularer Reaktoren (SMR) in Großbritannien. Der Standort befindet sich im Norden von Wales. NuScale erklärt sich bereit, seine SMR-Technologie an diesem Standort einzusetzen.

Therefore, the Trawsfynydd office can use the SMR technology just as well as the Gwynedd office. In Gwynedd gibt es nämlich ein Zieldatum, das den Bau im Jahr 2027 vorsieht. In Trawsfynydd gibt es drei potenzielle Grundstücke, die von einer Vereinbarung mit der Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) profitieren.

Rolls-Royce SMR und Balfour Beatty unterzeichneten Absichtserklärungen, um den Bau von SMR-Reaktoren zu planen. Dabei soll es sich um SMR-160-Leichtwasser-Druckreaktoren von Holtec handeln. Dieses Unternehmen plant übrigens, den regulatorischen britischen Validierungsprozess einzuleiten.

Eine Technologie, die eingesetzt werden muss

NuScale argues that its SMR technology VOYGR has already benefited from this development. Nun muss es nur noch an den Standorten eingesetzt werden. Tom Mundy, Vorsitzender von VOYGR, erklärt:

“Wir glauben, dass wir gut aufgestellt sind, um nach vorne schauen zu können. Es ist nicht so, dass wir erst noch die Technologie entwickeln und dann mit den Projekten voranschreiten müssen”.

According to NuScale, the government has an interest in supporting the SMR technology in the context of the overall British energy balance. The design of the VOYGR 12 Zentrale can accommodate up to 12 NuScale Netzteilmodules. The total gross production is estimated at 924 MWe.

The NuScale Power Module is also a pressure relief valve for the generation of pressure. The integrated heat pump in a single unit generates 77 MWe. Er ist der erste SMR, der die Design-Zulassung der US Nuclear Regulatory Commission erhalten hat.
