LCG, May 30, 2025--NuScale Power Corporation (NuScale), a leading provider of advanced small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology, yesterday announced that it has received design approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its uprated 77 MW power modules. NuScale states that it remains the only SMR technology company with design approval from the NRC, and the company remains on track for deployment by 2030, with 50- and 77-MW SMR options.

LCG, May 29, 2025--The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released an analysis yesterday showing that the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the grid operator for most of the state, is increasing its curtailment of the rapidly growing solar- and wind-powered generation facilities in order to balance electricity supply and demand, which is necessary to maintain a stable electric system.

UniStar Nuclear Energy Selects Nine Mile Point for Another New Reactor
LCG, February 14, 2008--UniStar Nuclear Energy, a joint venture between Constellation Energy and the EDF Group, Tuesday announced that it has selected Constellation's existing Nine Mile Point nuclear power plant in New York as the site to build another nuclear reactor. UniStar plans to submit a combined operating and construction license (COL) for the reactor to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in late 2008.
The Nine Mile Point nuclear power plant is approximately five miles northeast of Oswego. The existing facility includes two reactors with a total capacity of 1,756 MW.
The new reactor adds to Unistar's effort to develop a fleet of nuclear reactors using AREVA's U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor (U.S. EPR) design, which is a Generation III+ design based upon AREVA's 1,600-MW, European EPR now being deployed in Europe. In December, AREVA filed its design certification application for the U.S. EPR with the NRC. AREVA expects the Design Certification application will be validated by 2010, which would enable a U.S. EPR reactor to be licensed and ready for operation as early as 2015.
Unistar announced last week that it has engaged an AREVA-Bechtel Power consortium to develop the detailed design engineering for UniStar's proposed fleet of advanced nuclear power plants in the United States.
Unistar is using the U.S. EPR design in its plans to construct a nuclear reactor at Constellation Energy's existing Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Lusby, Maryland. Last July Unistar filed the environmental report portion of a COL application with the NRC to build the reactor, and Unistar plans to submit the remainder of the application in early 2008.
In December 2007, PPL Corporation announced that it contracted with Unistar to prepare a COL application with one of its subsidiaries to submit to the NRC for approval to build and operate a nuclear reactor using AREVA's U.S. EPR design near the Susquehanna nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. The application will be submitted by the end of 2008.
Unistar stated that its decision to construct the reactor at Nine Mile Point is dependent upon a number of factors, such as economic developments and the size of federal loan guarantees for new nuclear plant development.
