NuScale partners with MillenniTEK to fabricate ECCS boron-oxide pellets for SMR design
SMR•Milestone supports commercialization readiness
The milestone supports commercialization readiness by advancing specialized component manufacturing, supply chain capability, and deployment planning for NuScale’s NRC-approved SMR design.
NuScale and MillenniTEK advance ECCS pellet fabrication
NuScale partnered with MillenniTEK to fabricate first-of-a-kind boron-oxide pellets for its passive emergency core cooling system.
The pellets are designed to dissolve into reactor coolant during ECCS actuation to control core reactivity without operator intervention.
