José Reyes stands in front of a virtual nuclear power plant control room with workstations that simulate the operation of a NuScale SMR module, turbine generator, and support systems used to generate electricity.
A view of five SMRs submerged in a large one-time-fill pool of water. The pool is housed underground in a Seismic Category 1 building designed to withstand the maximum potential earthquake or unforeseeable stress, including aircraft impact.
A single NuScale nuclear power module is 76 feet tall and 15 feet in diameter. Each module produces 60 megawatts of electricity, generating enough energy on average to power 55,000 homes.
