A project to build a first NuScale Voygr small modular reactor station in Utah is set to continue after the companies involved reaffirmed their commitment to the technology by approving a new budget and financing plan and an update to the development cost reimbursement agreement.
The US-based SMR company said this “key milestone” was reached with the receipt and acceptance by a project management committee of an estimate which “further refines the anticipated total cost of the project”.
The Carbon Free Power Project, as the Utah project is known, will be the first NuScale Voygr SMR power station to begin operation in the US near Idaho Falls, Idaho, at the US Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory. The facility will deploy six 77-MW modules to generate 462 MW of electricity.
