Detailed explanation-1: -The floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov (operating in Pevek in Russia’s Far East) is, as of October 2022, the first operating prototype in the world. The first unit of China’s pebble-bed modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactor HTR-PM was connected to the grid in 2021.
Detailed explanation-2: -The NRC accepted NuScale’s SMR design certification application back in March 2018 and issued its final technical review in August 2020. The NRC Commission later voted to certify the design on July 29, 2022-making it the first SMR approved by the NRC for use in the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the IAEA, the four SMRs currently under construction lie in Argentina, China, and Russia. Argentina’s CAREM reactor will generate 25MW adjacent to the Atucha I Nuclear Power Plant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rolls-Royce SMR Ltd has been established to develop an affordable power plant that generates electricity using a small modular reactor - an intelligent way to meet our future energy needs.
Detailed explanation-5: -On June 27, 1954, the world’s first nuclear power station to generate electricity for a power grid, the Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant, commenced operations in Obninsk, in the Soviet Union.
