“These reactors hold the promise of economic development because they are projected to be able to be built in just a little more than half the time required to build a large power plant,” said ORNL’s Dan Ingersoll, a member of the Nuclear Technology Programs Office and Global Nuclear Energy Partnership national campaign director.

With a staggered build strategy, two or more reactors can be built in a series, which minimizes cash outlay and provides for quicker return on investment. Many nations have entered the nuclear age using reactors of this size range, Ingersoll noted, and the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership sees this as a strength to build on as it works to facilitate the global expansion of nuclear energy.
