US-based small modular reactor developer NuScale has completed submission of a standard design approval application to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for its updated SMR design.
NuScale said the design is based on a six-module Voygr-6 configuration powered by an uprated 77 MW module.
The updated design features the same fundamental safety case and totally passive safety features approved by the NRC in 2020, with a power uprate and select design changes to “support customers’ capacity needs and further improve economics”, NuScale said.
