The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has recently published a 73-page study, which tracks the progress of selected small modular reactor (SMR) designs towards deployment. NEA says the SMR designs are at various stages of development, from fundamental research on new concepts to commercial deployment and operation of mature designs.

US-based NuScale Power Corporation says it has placed the first upper reactor pressure vessel (RPV) long lead material (LLM) production order with Doosan Enerbility. The materials are needed to begin manufacturing the first NuScale Power Modules. These are scheduled to start commercial operation at the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP) by 2029. NuScale and Doosan will also manufacture additional modules for future NuScale VOYGR small modular reactor (SMR) power plant projects with similar delivery dates.

Participants in the Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP) being developed by Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) have agreed to continue the development and deployment of a small modular reactor project despite rising costs. UAMPS is a consortium of cities in Utah, Idaho, New Mexico and Nevada. CFPP Partners include NuScale Power (developer of the nuclear power modules), Fluor Corporation (construction and licensing contractor), and the US Department of Energy.
