NuScale signs power module partner

NuScale Power LLC has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a South Korean company, which will support worldwide deployment of the NuScale Power Module.

Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Co., LTD (DHIC) is expected to build a portion of the most critical and complex power module sub-assemblies. They are for a plant currently under development at the Idaho National Laboratory for Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems. The Small Modular Reactor program is expected to begin operation in 2026.

According to NuScale, the new international relationship with DHIC will further build NuScale’s U.S. centered supply chain and accelerate NuScale’s ability to deliver its technology quickly to future customers around the world.

“We are impressed with the simplicity, safety and cost-effectiveness of NuScale’s design, and we look forward to collaborating with the company as they bring America’s first SMR to market,” said Ki Yong Na, CEO of Doosan Nuclear Power Plant Business Group. “Furthermore, we see great potential for international applications of NuScale’s carbon-free technology, and look forward to collaborating with NuScale as the company pursues additional opportunities.”
