US-UK firms join hands to build floating nuclear power plants using microreactors
SMRTR summary
Westinghouse Electric Company and CORE POWER have agreed to jointly develop a floating nuclear power plant using Westinghouse's eVinci microreactor. The eVinci can operate for 8 years without refueling and is designed for easy transport. Floating reactors offer a flexible, disaster-resistant energy solution that could help governments reach net zero goals. The partnership aims to make nuclear power more accessible and scalable for remote or coastal areas. Testing of a 5MW microreactor is expected within two years.
