proposals for cost-shared small modular
reactor projects that have the potential to
be licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission and achieve commercial
operation around 2025.
NuScale Power has developed
unique and proprietary break-through
technology for an innovative, simple,
safe, economic, and scalable small
modular reactor. Using proven light water
reactor technology, the NuScale Power
Module is cooled by natural circulation,
is entirely self-contained and is installed
underwater and underground to maximize
safety.

Campaign
URENCO
, a supplier of enriched
uranium, has launched its Powerful Facts
campaign to promote the positive benefits
of nuclear power within a balanced
energy mix.
The campaign features several fact-
based advertisements that aim to educate
more people about the fundamentals of
nuclear energy, appearing in print and
online, as well as being supported on
Twitter and URENCO’s website.
A new advertisement has been
revealed each week; the first ad
highlighted the efficiency of nuclear
power, showing how a tiny amount of
uranium is needed to produce the same
amount of energy as one tonne of coal.

Pre-Project Review
Westinghouse Electric Company
announced that its AP1000
®
pressurized
water reactor has completed Phase 2 of
the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
(CNSC) Pre-Project Design Review.
The objective of a Pre-Project
Design review is to verify, at a high level,
the acceptability of a nuclear reactor
design with respect to Canadian safety
requirements and criteria, including the
identification of fundamental barriers to
licensing a new reactor design in Canada.
According to CNSC, the Phase 1
review involves an overall assessment
of a presented conceptual reactor design
against the most recent CNSC design
requirements for new nuclear power
plants in Canada. Phase 2 goes into
further detail and focuses on identifying
any potential fundamental barriers to
licensing a reactor design in Canada.
For Phase 2, Westinghouse presented
a completed AP1000 reactor design,
providing a significantly higher level of
assurance that the AP1000 design has
taken into account Canadian regulatory
requirements and expectations, safety
analysis methodologies, and lessons
learned from Fukushima. Additionally, as
in the Phase 1 review, the Phase 2 review
of the AP1000 reactor was conducted
against all related CNSC regulatory
documents and Canadian codes and
standards.
