The post Canada SMR Initiative Adds New Brunswick Project appeared first on POWER Magazine.

Moltex Energy, a privately held nuclear power development company headquartered in the UK with an office in New Brunswick, Canada, has entered into a collaboration agreement with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) to support Moltex’s nuclear fuel development program for its Stable Salt Reactor (SSR), among the latest technology advancements for small modular reactors (SMRs). The agreement is backed by CNL’s Canadian Nuclear Research Initiative (CNRI).

Moltex Energy’s SSR is a 300-MWe SMR. The company’s latest research and development supports the second and third phases of the Oxide Nuclear Waste Reduction Demonstration (ONWARD) project, which explores the commercial viability of the Waste To Stable Salts (WATSS) technology to convert used CANDU (CANadian Deuterium Uranium) fuel into new fuel, enabling production of clean energy from an SSR. The first phase of the program is ongoing. CNL is the developer of the CANDU process, featuring a pressurized heavy water reactor (PWR).…
