Touting it as "the best, most affordable option," Ontario Energy Minister Stephen Lecce on May 8 announced the provincial government鈥檚 approval of construction of the first commercial small modular reactor (SMR) outside of Russia and China. Provincially owned Ontario Power Generation (OPG) plans to construct the first GE-Hitachi-supplied BWRX-300 SMR at an individual cost of C$6.1 billion (US$4.3 billion) 鈥� with three more planned for a combined capacity of 1.2 gigawatts and a total "overnight construction cost" of C$20.9 billion 鈥� at the Darlington nuclear power plant site. While OPG targets a 2030 operation date, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) plans to fast follow with operation of the first US-based BWRX-300 by 2032 at its Clinch River site. TVA has yet to reach a final investment decision but announced plans last month to complete its submittal of a construction permit application to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission by June. Also in Tennessee, Kairos Power, which already has an early offtake commitment from Google, reached a significant US milestone with the pouring of the first nuclear safety-related concrete for its low-power Hermes demonstration reactor, a scaled version of its fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor technology.
