NuScale Power Corporation develops small modular reactor (SMR) technology for the generation of carbon-free electricity and process heat. Its primary product is the VOYGR SMR power plant, which is based on the company’s proprietary pressurized light-water reactor design. The plants are intended to be built from factory-produced modules and can be configured for applications including utility-scale power generation, industrial heat, hydrogen production, and water desalination.
NuScale provides reactor technology, engineering and design support, licensing assistance, and services intended to help customers develop and deploy SMR facilities. The company does not operate as a conventional electric utility; instead, it works with utilities, governments, project developers, and industrial customers seeking to adopt advanced nuclear technology. In 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission certified a version of NuScale’s SMR design, making it the first SMR design to receive that certification in the United States.
Founded in 2007, NuScale emerged from research and development conducted at Oregon State University and has its headquarters in Portland, Oregon. The company is pursuing commercial opportunities in the United States and international markets, including potential projects in Europe and elsewhere. Its technology is designed to support flexible deployment, with multiple reactor modules combined to match a customer’s energy requirements. John Hopkins serves as president and chief executive officer.
