A nonprofit group that studies energy issues said Thursday that a project in Utah using small nuclear reactor technology also being considered in Montana was not feasible and that renewable
The company developing small nuclear reactors that it plans to build near Idaho Falls has inked a deal with a crane company that will help support the project.
The Portland-based NuScale Power has finalized a deal with Sarens USA, a crane retail, heavy lifting and engineered transport company, to provide heavy crane supply for construction, engineering and transportation planning for the project. Sarens also will be the main heavy hauler that will get the reactors to their site, NuScale said in a news release.
About three dozen cities and power systems, mostly in Utah but also in neighboring states, are part of Utah Associated Municipal Power Systemsâ plan to build 12 small reactors, producing 720 megawatts of power, at the U.S. Department of Energy site west of Idaho Falls.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KIFI/KIDK) - NuScale Power reports it has finalized an agreement with Sarens USA that will support the deployment of its Small Modular Reactor (SMR) project. The agreement will also include a cash investment in NuScale.
Sarens USA is a global leader in crane rental services and will provide both heavy crane supply for construction as well as engineering and transportation planning. It will play a key role in moving the power module from the factory to the operation site. Fluor Corporation will also use Sarens for construction site cranes on other projects.
