New modular nuclear reactors can be built in factories like assembly line cars
The BWRX-300 modular reactor revolutionizes nuclear energy by using assembly-line manufacturing to build power plants in a fraction of the time required for traditional custom construction.
Modern engineering has transformed nuclear power into a modular product that can be manufactured in factories just like cars. The BWRX-300 reactor utilizes a simplified design that eliminates large coolant pumps in favor of natural circulation. This allows individual modules to be built in just 40 days, enabling rapid deployment without the need for massive, site-specific construction projects.
