NuScale’s U.S. NRC-approved methodology can be used to achieve a site boundary Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for most sites in the U.S. A smaller EPZ means greater siting flexibility, allowing ENTRA1 Energy Plants™ to be sited near process heat users or at retired coal power plant sites. ENTRA1 Energy is our exclusive global partner for commercialization, distribution and deployment of NuScale SMR technology. #SMRAdvantage
Large reactors can have an EPZ at the fence too, ex: TMI2, Fukushima, Chornobyl. The 10mile radius was historical fear based, and needs revised downwards for large existing reactors using science too, not just hand the newbies a freebie economic advantage that is unrealistic, smaller than large reactors.
Would love to work with you to bring NuScale to New Hampshire!
Thanks, NuScale Power. The NSP EPZ, in contrast to any other, has a technical basis that substantiates it. I thank NuScale Power for the opportunity to work on this, 2014-2017.
This is great
This is an impresive advance for SMRs! 🙌

3wIt may not be clear to the reader, but you mean that the size of the EPZ for existing plants, a ten-mile radius, can now be reduced to a matter of acres (the site boundary). This is just one of the exciting benefits offered by SMR technology—step change in nuclear safety. Well done!
