SGE and Origin Nuclear plan joint venture for 14 UK SMRs
SGE SMR UK and Origin Nuclear, a subsidiary of Ontario Power Generation, have signed a letter of intent to form a joint venture operating a planned fleet of 14 BWRX-300 small modular reactors in the UK, with a combined capacity of 4.2 gigawatts. Origin Nuclear is lined up to run operations, handle licensing support and oversee commissioning.
