Yes. An owner may decide what portion of the energy output of the plant will be used to produce electricity and what fraction will be directed for other purposes, such as desalination. Because the secondary loop of the SMR-300 is entirely clean of radioactivity and the plant has a relatively high thermal power, the design is amenable for applications requiring process steam such as industrial processes, district heating, or desalination. The use of the energy from SMR-300 is entirely up to the owner.
