Creators

Description

A NuScale plant consists of 1 to 12 independent modules, each capable of producing a net electric power of 45 MW(e). Each module includes a Pressurized Light Water Reactor operated under natural circulation primary flow conditions. Each reactor is housed within its own high pressure containment vessel which is submerged underwater in a stainless steel lined concrete pool. The cross-sectional view of NuScale reactor building is shown
