Developed by Generation mPower, a joint venture between the Babcock & Wilcox Co. and Bechtel Corp., the mPower model is a reactor helping lead the development of SMRs in the U.S. The scalable, integral reactor design is capable of adding power generation in increments of 180 MWe with a four-year operating cycle, without refueling. B&W is testing th...
In February 2011, Westinghouse Electric Co., the manufacturer of the 1,100 MWe AP1000 plant, announced its plans to develop a greater-than 225 MWe, integral pressurized water reactor. While the Westinghouse SMR is not a “mini-AP1000” reactor, Westinghouse is leveraging many of the same advanced passive safety program principles, systems and proven ...
Using technology that was conceived in 1981 and reviewed by the NRC from 1987-1994, GE has developed what they refer to as the nation’s first SMR concept. The PRISM, or Power Reactor Innovative Small Modular, is GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s 300 MWe next generation fast spectrum, sodium-cooled reactor. “This reactor puts this nation on a different pa...
Corvallis, Ore.,-based NuScale Power is developing a light water SMR design. Founded in 2007 from research conducted at Oregon State University, the company has designed a nuclear steam supply system and nuclear power plant that offers the benefits of nuclear power but takes away the issues presented by installing large capacity. The NuScale SMR de...
Founded in 1955, General Atomics was created to research and deliver the benefits of nuclear technologies. Over 50 years later, the company is creating a reactor that may be able to address some of the concerns the nation has about spent nuclear fuel. General Atomics for the past three years has been developing the 240 MWe Energy Multiplier Module,...
Based in Denver, Colo., and working with the Los Alamos National Laboratory to develop an advanced reactor design, Gen4 Energy, formally known as Hyperion Power Generation, is developing the Gen4 Module (G4M). The G4M is a liquid metal-cooled small modular reactor with potential to produce 25 MW. “We are different from others because we are a Gener...
Holtec International subsidiary, SMR, LLC, in February 2011 completed proof-of-principle studies on its 140 MWe Holtec Inherently Safe Modular Underground Reactor, or HI-SMUR. The core of this design is underground, operated by gravity-induced flow, does not rely on off-site power for shutdown, and can be installed as a single unit or as a cluster....
While the U.S. is still leading the world in nuclear power production, the timeframe for deployment of SMRs in North America is still a few years out. But the industry is optimistic. “We see the market for the SMR here in North America, and globally, very promising,” said Goossen. The DOE has entered into memorandums of agreement with three manufac...

Nov 30, 2008 · The Hyperion reactor, which takes advantage of these features, is therefore self-regulating and stable in power generation and inherently safe from any over-excursions in temperature. Modeling of the kinetics of the fission activity and the gas transport has shown that the reactor responds to transient effects with damped oscillations in power.
