Doosan Enerbility to Manufacture Key Equipment for NuScale Power's SMR
Published
Doosan Enerbility has reportedly been selected to manufacture key equipment for the small modular reactor (SMR) of US-based NuScale Power. An SMR is a nuclear reactor that is smaller in size than conventional large-scale reactors. It is built by manufacturing major components in a factory in advance and then assembling them on site.
SMRs have the advantages of shortening construction periods and allowing power generation capacity to be expanded in stages as needed. For this reason, many countries are showing interest in them as a new energy facility. In Korea, they are also drawing attention as a new growth area for the nuclear industry.
Doosan Enerbility is a company that has produced large power generation equipment and nuclear-related equipment. Through this participation, the company will broaden its role in the SMR market. However, specific details such as the contract value and delivery schedule have not been fully disclosed in the announcement.
This news is significant as an example of a domestic nuclear equipment manufacturer taking part in an overseas SMR project. It will be necessary to continue monitoring the progress of the project and any further announcements.
