What these terms mean
Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.
- Reactor developer
- Develops a fission reactor design. Carries no implication that anything is licensed, funded or built.
- Fission
- Advanced and small modular fission reactor developers, plus established reactor vendors.
- Pressurised water reactor › › Pressurised water reactor
- Water kept under high pressure so it heats without boiling, transferring heat to a separate steam loop. The most common reactor type in service worldwide.
- Low-enriched uranium
- Below 5% U-235.
In NuScale Power’s own words
Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for humankind by advancing nuclear power.
What started as a university research project in 2002 is now a mission to bring small modular reactor (SMR) technology to the global energy market. We made history in 2020 as the first SMR to receive U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) design approval, and again in 2022 as the first SMR technology provider to become a publicly traded company.
S&P Global Sustainable 1 performed an analysis to determine Scope 1 and 2 emissions from NuScale Power’s operations based on the greenhouse gas accounting standard: GHG Protocol.
We're setting new standards in the nuclear industry with safer, more flexible options.
Innovation at NuScale is powered by the commitment of our people to improve the quality of life for all humankind. See what drives our team forward.
