Canada-based nuclear power plant developer ARC Clean Technology announced on 9 July that it has achieved a major milestone with the successful completion of Phase 2 of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) vendor design review for its advanced small modular reactor, the ARC-100.
In its report, the CNSC concluded that no fundamental barriers to licensing have been identified, marking a pivotal step toward the commercial deployment of the ARC-100.
The ARC-100 is a 100 MW sodium-cooled fast neutron reactor designed for both on-grid electricity production and industrial heat applications.
