mechanical and electrical systems

– harnesses natural forces like

gravity, convection and

condensation to achieve safe

shutdown

• Strong licensing pedigree based

on reviews in multiple countries;

first Generation III+ reactor to

receive design certification from the

U.S. NRC

• Simplified design and modular

construction provide a plant that is

easier and less expensive to build,

operate and maintain
