Canada-based Prodigy Clean Energy has completed a two-year R&D programme advancing its “transportable nuclear power plant” (TNPP) technology as a critical infrastructure to deploy mall modular reactors (SMRs) in remote regions.
Prodigy’s TNPPs can package, transport and deploy any reactor, allowing end-users to customise facilities by gross power output and energy type.
The Canadian government provided a CAD$2.75m (€1.6m, $2m) investment to Prodigy under its Enabling Small Modular Reactors (ESMR) programme to accelerate completion of the latest phase of R&D.
Prodigy says the R&D demonstrates TNPP maturity and readiness for use in off-grid microreactor projects.
