A company has been formed with the goal of developing up to 1,500 MW of nuclear power using multiple small modular reactors (SMRs) in the west of Norway, Norsk Kjernekraft said.
The Bergen-based nuclear project development company said Trondheimsleia Kjernekraft AS had been founded in partnership between the municipalities of Aure and Heim and local energy company NEAS.
The proposed location for the nuclear facility is a common industrial area in the border region between the two municipalities, about 150 km to the west of the city of Trondheim.
