French nuclear fuel cycle company Orano and Calogena have signed a partnership agreement to strengthen their collaboration on the CAL30 small modular reactor project.

Developed by Calogena, the CAL30 is a next-generation light-water reactor with a thermal capacity of 30 MW.

It is specifically designed to supply low-carbon energy to urban district heating networks, thus meeting the challenges of the energy transition and decarbonisation at regional and local level.
