USNC’s MMR Project Becomes First SMR in Canada to Enter Formal Licensing Phase
Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp.’s (USNC’s) 5-MWe (15 MWth) Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) has entered formal licensing review with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) as part of its proposed project spearheaded by Global First Power (GFP). The small modular reactor (SMR) is the first to mark that milestone.
Seattle-based USNC marked its newest milestone for its high-temperature gas-cooled reactor microreactor on May 20, two days after the CNSC announced that GFP’s application for a “Licence to Prepare Site” for an SMR project at the Chalk River Laboratories had completed preliminary evaluations, giving it the green light to move onto formal license review.
