Description
Description | Holtec International's SMR-300, a small modular nuclear reactor, has successfully passed Step 2 of the UK's Generic Design Assessment, clearing a major regulatory hurdle. The project involves transforming the former coal-fired Cottam site in Nottinghamshire, UK, into a nuclear power plant. The design is simpler and easier to build compared to traditional large nuclear plants, and the progress in the UK supports related projects in the US, including the Pioneer 1 & 2 project at the Palisades site in Michigan. |
