[Provided by Hyundai]

Hyundai Engineering & Construction (Hyundai E&C) and U.S. Holtec International, its U.S. partner in small modular reactor (SMR) have begun standard model detailed design and commercialization of SMR-160 under agreement last year to jointly develop a commercialized model of SMR-160 to join international procurements. Hyundai E&C will design SMR-160 by factoring natural environment features such as climate, temperature, and humidity. The reactor will be deployed at the site of Holtec’s nuclear generating station Oyster Creek that permanently ceased operation and used as documents to apply for the first SMR construction approval application in the U.S.
