NuScale Power Corporation is a small modular reactor (SMR) technology company established in 2007 of which Fluor Corporation became the lead investor in 2011. They have designed the fully factory fabricated NuScale Power Module (NPM), each with the capacity of generating 77 MWe of electricity (gross). The advantage of SMRs as compared to typical pressurized water reactors is that they can operate more safely and can passively get to a safe cooled down state using natural convection without using pumps, external power or external water. SMRs also provide scalable power production by providing options for 4, 6, or 12 NPMs. The NPMs are capable of black start and load following.
