US-based Holtec International has announced a combined nuclear-solar power plant design – CNSP (Combined Nuclear/Solar Plant). It combines Holtec’s SMR-300 small modular reactor (SMR) design with its HI-THERM HSP, solar thermal system as well as its Green Boiler to provide base load or on-demand power to counter the intermittency of solar plants. The Green Boiler is a three-in-one device that can store vast amounts of heat, receives high temperature heat from the solar collector, and make motive steam at the required pressure and superheat to power the turbine. Holtec President & CEO Dr Kris Singh noted: “We believe that an adroit combination of nuclear and solar embodied in the CNSP provides a compelling solution for nations seeking to move past fossil fuels.”
