NuHub has partnered with Holtec International, Inc. to compete for one of two federal grants from the U.S. Department of Energy for small modular reactor development.
The recently announced federal award, totaling up to $452 million, will support engineering, design certification and licensing for up to two prototype SMR designs.
Winning the award would expedite the development, licensing, construction, commissioning and operation of Holtec's flagship reactor, named SMR-160, at the Savannah River Site. NuHub was launched in October 2010 by EngenuitySC as a consortium of public, private, higher education and business development interests.
