NEWS & EVENTS What Role Can Small Modular Reactors Play? No single SMR design satisfies all the requirements of every local community. We therefore need a combination of SMR designs to satisfy those different local needs. We can achieve our net zero emission goals at lower overall energy costs if we integrate SMRs with other low emission energy technologies especially those that are more economically suited to meet short term peak load demands. Canada's SMR Roadmap and SMR Action Plan reflect those different community needs. TWO FAST NEUTRON SMALL MODULAR REACTOR DESIGNS Let's take a closer look at two fast neutron SMR designs proposed for installation in the 2030's in New Brunswick, Canada that are offering a more sustainable fuel cycle. The ARC-100 Waste Burning SMR The major design features of the ARC SMR are: The Moltex SSR-W300 Waste Burning SMR The major design features of the ARC SMR are: * Molten sodium cooled * passively safe pool reactor * Low pressure operation * Fast neutron physics - burns fissile & fertile fuel * 260 MWt / 100 MWe, 510 ºC core * Enriched U fuel or recycled transuranic waste * Supplies zero-emission electricity and heat ON THE WEB Readers who want to dig into more details can go to the company's website at: arcnuclear.com/technology * Molten salt cooled * passively safe pool reactor * Low pressure operation * Fast neutron physics - burns fissile & fertile fuel * 750 MWt / 300 MWe, 600 ºC core * Enriched U fuel or recycled transuranic waste * Supplies zero-emission electricity and heat ON THE WEB Readers who want to dig into more details can go to the company's website at: moltexenergy.com/ssr-technology December 2021 THE VOICE 31http://www.moltexenergy.com/ssr-technology https://www.arcenergy.co/technology
