The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has agreed to certify the first modular nuclear reactor, paving way for the design to be used in the U.S. This is the seventh nuclear reactor to be certified, but the first small reactor to have this milestone.
All of the modules need to remain submerged underwater and, in case of an emergency, have the ability to shut themselves without the need for an operator input or power requirement, the latter of which could have saved the world from theIn an emergency scenario, the reactor module will automatically shut off the feedwater and steam exit valve while opening a secondary set of valves to depressurize the reactor core and circulate the steam into the containment vessel.
The NRC's nod is the final step that NuScale needs to complete before its design can be deployed on the field, a process that began in 2016. The Idaho National Laboratory is expected to be the first site of installation with the Carbon Free Power Project scheduled to generate power using six modules and distribute it for a period of 40 years,
. The modules at the facility are expected to be online by the year 2030. As the regulator, the NRC will continue to oversee the operations of the sites. Radiant could provide safe, portable nuclear energy within the next five years.
