Since then, Doosan has developed and applied design improvements to support successful manufacturing, raising the design maturity to a level at which fabrication could be ordered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">The components produced by Doosan will be supplied to TerraPower&#8217;s first nuclear power plant, now under construction in Kemmerer, Wyoming. TerraPower plans to install a 345-megawatt advanced reactor at the plant. It is one of the first next-generation nuclear projects in the United States to enter the commercial-scale construction phase, and is seen as an important milestone toward commercializing advanced reactor technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">TerraPower broke ground this spring after obtaining a construction permit from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The components Doosan supplies are expected to play a key role in the timely construction and commercial operation of TerraPower&#8217;s first unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Kim Jong-doo, president of Doosan Enerbility&#8217;s Nuclear Business Group, said the manufacturing contract was signed on the basis of close cooperation and trust built with TerraPower over many years. Kim added that the company would carry out the project without disruption while continuing to strengthen its small modular reactor (SMR) manufacturing capabilities to expand its role as a global supplier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">TerraPower holds design technology for the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), a fourth-generation reactor that uses liquid sodium as a coolant to transfer heat generated during nuclear fission. The reactor can be combined with a molten salt energy storage system to raise power output to 500 megawatts. Beyond the first unit, TerraPower has signed contracts for future SMR deployment and is pursuing additional projects in the global market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aerial rendering of TerraPower&#8217;s small modular reactor (SMR) plant in Wyoming, U.S. Photo courtesy of Doosan Enerbility Doosan&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118833,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[61500,410,409,408,61499,9104,61498,14727,61484],"class_list":["post-118832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-doosan","tag-advanced-nuclear-technology","tag-doosan","tag-doosan-enerbility","tag-doosan-group","tag-kemmerer-wyoming","tag-small-modular-reactor","tag-sodium-cooled-reactor","tag-terrapower","tag-u-s-nuclear-regulatory-commission"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
