Doosan Enerbility wins SMR supply deal from US firm NuScale Power

Doosan Enerbility Co. has secured a contract from U.S.-based small modular reactor (SMR) developer NuScale Power to supply a key reactor component, expanding their cooperation into commercial reactor equipment production. The deal covers the production of the first upper reactor pressure vessel (URPV) module for NuScale's SMR project, which forms the upper section of the reactor pressure vessel containing high-temperature, high-pressure coolant.

NuScale Power's SMR design was the first in the United States to receive approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and SMRs are designed to reduce construction costs and shorten building periods by manufacturing major components as modules for assembly at construction sites.
