mPower Reactor Design Aims to Tap Market Potential for SMRs

Summary

mPower reactor design is aiming to tap the potential of the small and medium reactor (SMR) market. Babcock & Wilcox’s mPower, a SMR design, provides unique features of cost competitiveness. The reactor model also has features such as enhanced safety, simplicity in operation and maintenance, lower construction time and higher reliability. Currently, the company is involved in defining the functional requirements for this reactor type with plans for first deployment by the year 2018. With these enhanced features providing cost advantages mPower is planning to tap the potential of the SMR reactor market.
