Leading players have significant financial backing already lined up, often from technology companies and future customers.

Light water reactors (LWRs) are the most common WCRs worldwide and are divided into two types: Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), which produce steam for the turbine in separate steam generators; and ...

The company says the new agreement with Hyundai will enable rapid scaling of the small reactor program. The SMR-300 is a pressurized light-water reactor which uses enriched uranium to produce 300 ...

European data center firm Data4 is looking to deploy nuclear smaller modular reactors (SMRs) from Westinghouse.

The industry consensus is that they produce less power — around 300 megawatts instead of the 1,000 megawatts, or 1 gigawatt — ...

DOE is offering funding to de-risk the deployment of Generation III+ light-water small modular reactors through two tiers.

Holtec's pressurized, light-water SMR is considered "walk-away safe," meaning it can move heat away from the reactor core using gravity-based internal systems, without the need for external power ...

Thanks to this better use of neutrons, CANDU reactors are known to use about 30% less mined uranium than a comparable light ...

The operator of a nuclear power plant in central Japan has begun dismantling a reactor unit that is being decommissioned.

Holtec's pressurized, light-water SMR is considered "walk-away safe," meaning it can move heat away from the reactor core using gravity-based internal systems, without the need for external power ...
