The SMR-300 design contributes to substantial savings in equipment capital and maintenance costs. The SMR-300 ensures that systems, structures, and components across the plant are designed and right-sized for their functions, and incorporate a level of passivity that achieves a vastly safer plant without the need for additional redundancy.
Additionally, SMR 300s will be substantially factory built and site assembled. To facilitate shop manufacturing, all SMR-300 components are limited to 12 feet in diameter and practical maximum weights to facilitate flexible shipping options to destinations around the world. Minimizing shipping limitations for massive large power plant components introduces significant cost savings.
